A dependency description is used in multiple places in the configuration. Each dependency element can have the following nested elements:

element name	is required?	description
`artifactId`	required	The artifact id for the dependency.
`groupId`	required	The group id for the dependency.
`version`	optional	Can be a single version or a version range. Dependency version ranges are described in depth in the Sonatype Maven reference. If no version is given, any version matches.
`type`	optional	Defines the type of dependency matching. If no type is given, it defaults to `jar`. If the type `test-jar` is used, it is equivalent to using the type `jar` with the `tests` classifier.
`classifier`	optional	Defines the dependency classifier. A classifier is only very seldom used; the most common use case is specifying `tests` for a dependency containing the unit tests for an artifact.

Examples

Matching any version of commons-lang:commons-lang:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
</dependency>

Matching any version of commons-lang:commons-lang up to (but excluding) 3.0:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
  <version>(,3.0)</version>
</dependency>

Match the test classes jar for commons-lang:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
  <classifier>tests</classifier>
</dependency>

Match a zip file containing sources for commons-lang:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
  <classifier>sources</classifier>
  <type>zip</type>
