Amp/Amp Dependency

stephenl — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 23:43:07 GMT

Hi,Just wondering if there's a way to add one of my repo AMPs as a dependency of another? I have added it as a dependency in the pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>mygroup</groupId> <artifactId>my_art</artifactId> <version>0.0.1</version> <scope>

Hello,

unfortunately AMP dependencies aren't supported by the SDK or standard Maven. As far as I know the recommendation is to extract the relevant code (i.e. interfaces) into a separate JAR project which you can the package into the first AMP and reference (but not include) from the second one.
Of course you could try to setup the first AMP project to also produce a JAR, so you don't have to separate the code out. Unfortunately, the SDK does not make this as easy as it should be - we use a non-SDK custom Maven setup for this.

Axel

Thanks for the information and suggestions Axel, it's a shame really as all I wanted to do was call some functionality contained within another AMP (that I have control over) without having to duplicate code.

Might be better to use a shared JAR file and make the AMPs themselves be more lightweight.

Thanks,
Stephen
