classifiertestStringOptional
An optional classifier to use for the dependency management tag
onlyIfUsingorg.apache.logging.log4j:log4j*StringOptional
Only add managed dependencies to projects having a dependency matching the expression.
releasesOnlyBooleanOptional
Whether to exclude snapshots from consideration when using a semver selector
scopeimportStringOptional
An optional scope to use for the dependency management tag.
