Interface ClientModule

All Superinterfaces:
Dependency, ExternalDependency, ExternalModuleDependency, ModuleDependency, ModuleVersionSelector
public interface ClientModule extends ExternalModuleDependency
To model a module in your dependency declarations. Usually you can either declare a single dependency artifact or you declare a module dependency that depends on a module descriptor in a repository. With a client module you can declare a module dependency without the need of a module descriptor in a remote repository.
