feat: use a build file (pom.xml / build.gradle / build.sbt / build.mill) as a JBang dependency - #2657
Experimental: use a build file as a JBang dependency
Supersedes #2597 (which only covered Maven + Gradle and lacked caching, integration tests, and remote-script safeguards). Addresses #449 and #43.
Adds an experimental //DEPS <build-file> (and --deps <build-file>) syntax that lets a script reuse the compile dependencies declared in a real project's build file. JBang invokes the matching build tool, extracts the compile classpath, caches it, and adds the entries to the script's classpath.
//DEPS pom.xml//DEPS build.gradle // or build.gradle.kts//DEPS build.sbt//DEPS build.mill // or build.mill.yaml / build.sc//DEPS ^pom.xml // walk upward from the script's dir
Strategy pattern.BuildSystem interface + one class per tool (MavenBuildSystem, GradleBuildSystem, SbtBuildSystem, MillBuildSystem). Shared plumbing (subprocess runner, wrapper detection, JBANG_CLASSPATH= marker) lives in BuildTools. Adding a fifth tool is a new class + one line in a registry.
sbt and Mill support added. Mill uses its native --disable-ticker show compileClasspath and understands the qref:vN:HASH:PATH / ref:vN:HASH:PATH entry format. sbt uses export Compile / dependencyClasspath with output validation.
Filesystem cache keyed by build-file path + mtime + size, invalidated automatically when referenced jars disappear (e.g. wiped local repo). Clearable via jbang cache clear --projects.
CLI --deps path resolution fixed to resolve relative to CWD instead of the script's directory. Previously jbang --deps pom.xml properties@jbangdev looked for pom.xml in the catalog cache dir. Regression test included.
Remote-script rejection. Embedded //DEPS build.gradle in a script fetched from a URL/catalog is rejected up front with an actionable error, instead of silently trying to resolve against the download cache.
Ant dropped. No standard compile-classpath convention; supporting it required project-specific build.xml edits, which isn't worth the surface area.
Real fixtures + integration tests.itests/builddeps/<tool>/ for each supported tool with a pom.xml / build.gradle / build.sbt / build.mill, a src/main/java/example/Greeter.java project class, and a mise.toml declaring the tool version needed. BuildSystemClassPathsIT uses mise install + mise exec to run each tool for real; skips cleanly when mise isn't installed. Mill ships its official ./mill bootstrap script the way real Mill projects do.
Docs get a proper "Why", a per-tool support table, caching behavior, and a limitations section.
Known scope limitation (feedback wanted)
Only the project's declared compile dependencies are added — the project's own compiled classes are not. If you need to reference the project's source from a script, pull the files in with //SOURCES:
A future release may add a scope option (compile vs runtime) so the project's own output can be included automatically. Which scope should be the default? Feedback welcome — comment below.
Security
Build files can execute code. This is called out in the docs and is why the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Only use with build files you trust.
Testing
Unit tests (TestBuildSystemClassPaths): 11 tests covering per-strategy dispatch, ^ lookup, CWD-based CLI resolution, cache hit/miss, remote-script rejection, and failure paths.
Integration tests (BuildSystemClassPathsIT): all four tools exercised end-to-end via mise — passes on my machine, skips when mise isn't installed.
spotlessCheck clean.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Scripts can use compile dependencies from Maven, Gradle, sbt, and Mill build files. Reference a build file relative to the script, or use ^ to search parent directories.
Resolved dependencies are cached and refreshed when the build file changes or a referenced JAR is missing.
Documentation
Added guidance on supported build tools, requirements, and limitations. Build files can execute code, so use only trusted files.
Tests
Added integration coverage for dependency resolution across all four build tools.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
JBang now accepts Maven, Gradle, sbt, and Mill build files as dependencies for local scripts and projects. It resolves and caches their compile classpaths, integrates them into project dependency handling, and adds tool fixtures, tests, and usage documentation.
Changes: Build-file dependencies
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Build-file detection and classpath caching src/main/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/BuildSystem.java, src/main/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/BuildSystemClassPaths.java
Adds supported build-file detection, path lookup, classpath dispatch, and cache validation based on build-file metadata and referenced paths.
Adds command execution and classpath extraction for Maven, Gradle, sbt, and Mill.
Project and source dependency integration src/main/java/dev/jbang/source/ProjectBuilder.java
Converts local build-file dependencies to classpaths for project, source, and command-line dependencies. Rejects build-file dependencies in URL-based scripts.
Fixtures, validation, and documentation itests/builddeps/*, src/it/java/dev/jbang/it/BuildSystemClassPathsIT.java, src/test/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/TestBuildSystemClassPaths.java, docs/modules/ROOT/pages/running.adoc
Adds fixtures and tests for the four build tools. Documents build-file dependency syntax, resolution, caching, and limitations.
Some supported build-file dependency workflows can fail or omit dependencies, and the integration test can mishandle installation failures. Resolve these issues before merging unless their limitations are explicitly accepted.

Adds an experimental //DEPS syntax that lets a script depend on a
build file (pom.xml, build.gradle[.kts], build.sbt, build.mill,
build.mill.yaml, build.sc). JBang invokes the matching build tool
and adds its compile classpath to the script's classpath. Works from
//DEPS directives in local scripts and from --deps on the command
line.
Design
------
* Strategy pattern: BuildSystem interface + one class per tool
(Maven, Gradle, sbt, Mill). BuildTools holds the shared subprocess
runner, wrapper-script detection, and JBANG_CLASSPATH= marker
helpers. BuildSystemClassPaths coordinates dispatch, path
resolution, and caching.
* Wrappers are preferred over global tools (mvnw, gradlew, ./mill).
* Resolved classpaths are cached under
$JBANG_DIR/cache/projects/buildclasspaths/ keyed by build file
path + mtime + size, with a jar-existence sanity check to
invalidate stale entries when the local repo has been wiped.
Clear with `jbang cache clear --projects`.
Tool-specific handling
----------------------
* Maven: `dependency:build-classpath` with an output file so we
never have to parse Maven's log.
* Gradle: a temporary init script registers `jbangPrintClasspath`
on any subproject with the `java` plugin. Fails loudly if no
such subproject exists, instead of silently returning empty.
* sbt: `sbt --error --batch "export Compile / dependencyClasspath"`
with output validated to look like a classpath (contains
File.pathSeparator or ends with .jar).
* Mill: `mill --disable-ticker show compileClasspath`; parses the
JSON output while ignoring log lines and JVM `sun.misc.Unsafe`
warnings that also contain `[`, and strips Mill's
`qref:vN:HASH:` / `ref:vN:HASH:` entry prefixes.
Path resolution
---------------
* Script-embedded `//DEPS build.gradle` is resolved relative to the
script file.
* CLI `--deps build.gradle` is resolved relative to CWD (previously
resolved to the script's directory, which for remote/aliased
scripts is a cache dir under ~/.jbang/cache/urls/).
* `//DEPS ^pom.xml` uses `Util.findNearestWith` to walk up from the
script's directory to find the file.
* Embedded build-file deps in remote/URL-based scripts are rejected
up front with an actionable error rather than trying to resolve
them against the download cache.
Ant is not supported (no standard compile-classpath convention).
Tests
-----
* Unit tests in TestBuildSystemClassPaths cover each strategy via
wrapper-script stubs, `^` lookup, CWD-based CLI resolution, cache
behavior, remote-script rejection, and failure paths.
* Integration tests in BuildSystemClassPathsIT exercise all four
real build tools using fixtures under `itests/builddeps/<tool>/`.
Each fixture ships a `mise.toml` declaring the tool it needs; the
IT runs `mise install` per fixture and then `mise exec` to invoke
jbang with the declared tools on PATH. Tests skip cleanly when
mise is not installed. Mill ships its official bootstrap script
(`./mill`) in the fixture, matching how real Mill projects work.
Docs
----
`docs/modules/ROOT/pages/running.adoc` now has a dedicated section
with a "Why" motivation, a per-tool support table, caching
behavior, and limitations.
@maxandersen I've left a comment on the other ticket, not sure if commenting here is preferred. I just wanted to see what your thoughts are about merging this so it gets into the next release.
State that command-line build-file paths resolve from the current working directory.
Line 106 says build-file paths resolve relative to the script. The code resolves --deps values against the current working directory, because ProjectBuilder.updateProject calls classPaths(deps, null). Line 113 only says that "the same references" work on the command line. A reader can therefore expect script-relative resolution for --deps. Add that --deps paths, and the starting directory for ^, are relative to the current working directory.

Enforce the install timeout without skipping install failures.
Keep the existing assumption for an unavailable mise. A non-zero install result must fail the test. Redirect the merged output to a temporary file, wait for the process independently, and destroy it when the timeout expires.

Guard both Paths.get calls in build-file detection against InvalidPathException.
On Windows, Paths.get throws InvalidPathException for a URL source dependency such as https://example.com/Foo.java. Directives.sourceDependencies() returns that value because it is not a GAV. ProjectBuilder then calls isBuildFileDependency on it at line 398. The unguarded fileName throws, and the build stops before the URL is resolved. The CLI --deps path fails the same way, because dependencies(deps) calls isBuildFileDependency on every entry. Linux parses the same string without error.
Guard toBuildFile too. It is not reached today, because fileName throws first. After the fileName guard, a URL can reach toBuildFile through classPaths(deps, null) when another --deps entry is a build file. Without this guard, the exception moves to that line.
With both guards, a URL returns null. isBuildFileDependency then reports that it is not a build file, and the value follows normal resolution.

Only the project's declared compile dependencies are added — the project's own compiled classes are not. If you need to reference the project's source from a script, pull the files in with
//SOURCES:A future release may add a scope option (
compilevsruntime) so the project's own output can be included automatically. Which scope should be the default? Feedback welcome — comment below.Security
Build files can execute code. This is called out in the docs and is why the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Only use with build files you trust.
