This class contains all the logic for dealing with the extra attributes in pom files relating to extra attributes
on dependency declarations.
This class contains all the logic for dealing with the extra attributes in pom files relating to extra attributes
on dependency declarations.
Specifically, if we have a dependency on an sbt plugin, there are two properties that need to propogate:
- sbtVersion
- scalaVersion
These need to exist on the *dependency declaration*. Maven/Aether has no way to inject these into
the <dependency> section of pom files, so we use Ivy's Extra attribute hackery to inject a lookup table
of extra attributes by dependency id into POM files and later we read these back.
