PomWalker

This is a Maven POM parser.

The parser works in 2 steps

1. Scanning - Give the location of the Maven Repo, we then scan and pick up all POM file file paths.

2. Reading - Once all the files are scanned, the program then goes back and pulls each file, creates a POM model object.

Outputs are written in cvs format. Please refer tp files section below.

Dependencies

This parser uses the following artifacts. At this stage I have manually configured them in the build file but plan to move to make dynamic.

1. apache-commons-net.jar
2. plexus-utils-3.0.15.jar
3. utils4j-0.7.0.jar
4. maven-model-3.1.1.jar
