cds:install-cdsdk

Full name:

com.sap.cds:cds-maven-plugin:2.8.1:install-cdsdk

Description:

Install the @sap/cds-dk into a CAP Java project.
By default, this goal looks for an already installed @sap/cds-dk and skips installation if it was found. It doesn't validate the found version against the requested version and the existing @sap/cds-dk could be outdated. Add property -Dcds.install-cdsdk.force=true to the Maven command line to force the installation of the @sap/cds-dk in the configured version.

Note: This goal ignores any dependency (including version) to @sap/cds-dk, @sap/cds or @sap/cds-compiler in the package.json of the CAP Java project.

Alternative way to install the @sap/cds-dk:
If you need to install additional Node.js modules in your CAP Java project, we recommend to use a different approach for the installation. In that case, maintain all dependencies, including the @sap/cds-dk, as a devDependency in the package.json:

"devDependencies": {
   "@sap/cds-dk": "version"
}

<execution>
  <id>cds.install-dependencies</id>
  <goals>
    <goal>npm</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
    <arguments>install</arguments>
  </configuration>
</execution>

Attributes:

• Requires a Maven project to be executed.
• Executes as an aggregator goal.
• The goal is not marked as thread-safe and thus does not support parallel builds.
• Since version: 1.7.0.
• Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: initialize.
