Class ModuleDependency

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.enterprise.module.ModuleDependency

public class ModuleDependency
extends java.lang.Object

A ModuleDependency instance holds all information necessary to identify a dependency between modules. Modules can declare their dependency on a separate module using the name, the version and whether they accept the sub module implementation to be shared. They can also specify whether or not they want to re-export the sub module public interfaces. Re-exporting means that the sub-module's public interfaces will also be published as a public interface of the enclosing module.
