Maven Helper (VS Code)

A Maven dependency UI inspired by the JetBrains MavenHelper plugin.

Features

• Reimport dependencies (rebuilds local dependency index via mvn dependency:tree).
• Search/filter by groupId, artifactId, version, classifier.
• Flat list and dependency tree views.
• Jump to Source (opens local *-sources.jar or jar in ~/.m2/repository).
• Location Properties (best-effort: opens the pom or property location that controls the effective version).
• BOM import resolution (searches imported BOMs in local repo for versions).
• Profile-aware resolution (uses Maven active profiles for indexing and lookup).
• Effective-pom fallback (generates effective POM for more accurate version lookup).
• Contextual UI per pom.xml (open from editor title, auto-refresh on pom change).
• Dependency tree verbose parsing (managed versions + strict source tracking hints).
• Selected dependency path highlighting with origin chain panel.

Commands

• Maven Helper: Open UI
• Maven Helper: Open UI (Current pom.xml)
• Maven Helper: Reimport Dependencies

Notes

• Requires Maven installed and available on PATH.
• Version origin is best-effort based on local pom parsing (dependencyManagement, properties, BOMs, profiles, parents, and effective POM fallback).
