Re: [aether-users] Resolving test dependencies using aether

[Arthur Kalmenson <arthur.kalm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Benjamin,

Sorry for the missing picture, but we did get it working. We
essentially resolve the artifact first and then use that resolved
artifact to get it's transitive dependencies. The code looks something
like this: https://gist.github.com/1310299

Thanks for all your help Benjamin.
