Inheritors

DependencyConstraintsMetadata

interface DependencyConstraintsMetadata : DependenciesMetadata<DependencyConstraintMetadata>

Describes the dependency constraints of a variant declared in a resolved component's metadata, which typically originate from a component descriptor (Gradle metadata file). This interface can be used to adjust the dependencies of a published component via metadata rules (see org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.ComponentMetadataHandler.

DirectDependenciesMetadata

interface DirectDependenciesMetadata : DependenciesMetadata<DirectDependencyMetadata>

Describes the dependencies of a variant declared in a resolved component's metadata, which typically originate from a component descriptor (Gradle metadata file, Ivy file, Maven POM). This interface can be used to adjust the dependencies of a published component via metadata rules (see org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.ComponentMetadataHandler.
