@witty-crayon-22786 @fast-nail-55400 I’ve just added remote URL support to coursier resolves (review: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/13793); I’m considering adding

file://

support as a fast-follow, just to keep the reviews scoped appropriately. Does that make sense?

Yea, seems fine.

Considering whether to implement it as: • Support for

file://

and using

PathGlobs

to yoink the files into the

CoursierResolve

process • Implementing a new

local_jvm_artifact

type

Mm. Or, third option: give jvm_artifact another field

file

Right. That’d still involve the aforementioned yoinking 😉

Yep.

I’m just wondering if I want to make it easier to do it as a filter step

Well I think they should probably all involve yoinking: if we give coursier an absolute file url inside the repo, we won't get file invalidation

which is where a separate target type would help.
