新的 Gradle 依赖项未添加到项目和外部依赖项（VSCode）

Question

I've been having this issue on and off for the past few weeks after beginning to learn how to use Gradle.

I added the dependency to my build.gradle file

compile group: 'org.apache.xmlgraphics', name: 'batik-all', version: '1.12', ext: 'pom'

I used VSCode's command palette to "refresh", cleaned the server workspace and ran gradle build but the new dependency does not show up in my "Project and External Dependencies" and I cannot import org.apache.batik.*

Hoping to find a fix for this in VSCode as I have seen some other IDE specific fixes.

Answer 1

So the issue was that in the map notation you were specifying the ext: 'pom' part. This effectively told Gradle to only import the POM file and not treat the dependency as a regular one.

When you moved to the different notation, you did not keep that pom element in the coordinates and so you got the right behaviour.

Note: compile has been replaced by implementation for a while now and is even deprecated in Gradle 6.x. Have a look at the documentation for more information on this.
