feat: use a build file (pom.xml / build.gradle / build.sbt / build.mill) as a JBang dependency - #2657
Experimental: use a build file as a JBang dependency
Supersedes #2597 (which only covered Maven + Gradle and lacked caching, integration tests, and remote-script safeguards). Addresses #449 and #43.
Adds an experimental //DEPS <build-file> (and --deps <build-file>) syntax that lets a script reuse the compile dependencies declared in a real project's build file. JBang invokes the matching build tool, extracts the compile classpath, caches it, and adds the entries to the script's classpath.
//DEPS pom.xml//DEPS build.gradle // or build.gradle.kts//DEPS build.sbt//DEPS build.mill // or build.mill.yaml / build.sc//DEPS ^pom.xml // walk upward from the script's dir
Strategy pattern.BuildSystem interface + one class per tool (MavenBuildSystem, GradleBuildSystem, SbtBuildSystem, MillBuildSystem). Shared plumbing (subprocess runner, wrapper detection, JBANG_CLASSPATH= marker) lives in BuildTools. Adding a fifth tool is a new class + one line in a registry.
sbt and Mill support added. Mill uses its native --disable-ticker show compileClasspath and understands the qref:vN:HASH:PATH / ref:vN:HASH:PATH entry format. sbt uses export Compile / dependencyClasspath with output validation.
Filesystem cache keyed by build-file path + mtime + size, invalidated automatically when referenced jars disappear (e.g. wiped local repo). Clearable via jbang cache clear --projects.
CLI --deps path resolution fixed to resolve relative to CWD instead of the script's directory. Previously jbang --deps pom.xml properties@jbangdev looked for pom.xml in the catalog cache dir. Regression test included.
Remote-script rejection. Embedded //DEPS build.gradle in a script fetched from a URL/catalog is rejected up front with an actionable error, instead of silently trying to resolve against the download cache.
Ant dropped. No standard compile-classpath convention; supporting it required project-specific build.xml edits, which isn't worth the surface area.
Real fixtures + integration tests.itests/builddeps/<tool>/ for each supported tool with a pom.xml / build.gradle / build.sbt / build.mill, a src/main/java/example/Greeter.java project class, and a mise.toml declaring the tool version needed. BuildSystemClassPathsIT uses mise install + mise exec to run each tool for real; skips cleanly when mise isn't installed. Mill ships its official ./mill bootstrap script the way real Mill projects do.
Docs get a proper "Why", a per-tool support table, caching behavior, and a limitations section.
Known scope limitation (feedback wanted)
Only the project's declared compile dependencies are added — the project's own compiled classes are not. If you need to reference the project's source from a script, pull the files in with //SOURCES:
A future release may add a scope option (compile vs runtime) so the project's own output can be included automatically. Which scope should be the default? Feedback welcome — comment below.
Security
Build files can execute code. This is called out in the docs and is why the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Only use with build files you trust.
Testing
Unit tests (TestBuildSystemClassPaths): 11 tests covering per-strategy dispatch, ^ lookup, CWD-based CLI resolution, cache hit/miss, remote-script rejection, and failure paths.
Integration tests (BuildSystemClassPathsIT): all four tools exercised end-to-end via mise — passes on my machine, skips when mise isn't installed.
spotlessCheck clean.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
With --preview, scripts can use compile- and runtime-scope dependencies declared in Maven, Gradle, sbt, and Mill build files. Reference a build file relative to the script or use ^ to search parent directories.
Dependency classpaths are cached and refreshed when the build file changes or a referenced path is missing. Project classes are not included unless their sources are explicitly added.
Preview-only features can be enabled or disabled with --preview and --no-preview.
Documentation
Added guidance on supported build files, tool requirements, caching, and limitations. Build files can execute code, so use only trusted files.
Tests
Added integration coverage for dependency resolution across all four build tools.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
JBang now accepts Maven, Gradle, sbt, and Mill build files as dependencies for local scripts and projects. It resolves and caches their classpaths, integrates them into project dependency handling, and adds fixtures, tests, and usage documentation.

Summary
Build-file resolution and caching src/main/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/BuildSystem.java, src/main/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/BuildSystemClassPaths.java, src/main/java/dev/jbang/dependencies/BuildTools.java
Adds build-file recognition, path lookup, preview gating, classpath dispatch, and cache validation based on build-file metadata and referenced paths.
The build-file dependency feature is experimental and gated behind --preview. The open items are a Gradle compatibility risk, an integration-test skip behavior, and documentation inaccuracies. They are worth addressing but should not block merge.

Adds an experimental //DEPS syntax that lets a script depend on a
build file (pom.xml, build.gradle[.kts], build.sbt, build.mill,
build.mill.yaml, build.sc). JBang invokes the matching build tool
and adds its compile classpath to the script's classpath. Works from
//DEPS directives in local scripts and from --deps on the command
line.
Design
------
* Strategy pattern: BuildSystem interface + one class per tool
(Maven, Gradle, sbt, Mill). BuildTools holds the shared subprocess
runner, wrapper-script detection, and JBANG_CLASSPATH= marker
helpers. BuildSystemClassPaths coordinates dispatch, path
resolution, and caching.
* Wrappers are preferred over global tools (mvnw, gradlew, ./mill).
* Resolved classpaths are cached under
$JBANG_DIR/cache/projects/buildclasspaths/ keyed by build file
path + mtime + size, with a jar-existence sanity check to
invalidate stale entries when the local repo has been wiped.
Clear with `jbang cache clear --projects`.
Tool-specific handling
----------------------
* Maven: `dependency:build-classpath` with an output file so we
never have to parse Maven's log.
* Gradle: a temporary init script registers `jbangPrintClasspath`
on any subproject with the `java` plugin. Fails loudly if no
such subproject exists, instead of silently returning empty.
* sbt: `sbt --error --batch "export Compile / dependencyClasspath"`
with output validated to look like a classpath (contains
File.pathSeparator or ends with .jar).
* Mill: `mill --disable-ticker show compileClasspath`; parses the
JSON output while ignoring log lines and JVM `sun.misc.Unsafe`
warnings that also contain `[`, and strips Mill's
`qref:vN:HASH:` / `ref:vN:HASH:` entry prefixes.
Path resolution
---------------
* Script-embedded `//DEPS build.gradle` is resolved relative to the
script file.
* CLI `--deps build.gradle` is resolved relative to CWD (previously
resolved to the script's directory, which for remote/aliased
scripts is a cache dir under ~/.jbang/cache/urls/).
* `//DEPS ^pom.xml` uses `Util.findNearestWith` to walk up from the
script's directory to find the file.
* Embedded build-file deps in remote/URL-based scripts are rejected
up front with an actionable error rather than trying to resolve
them against the download cache.
Ant is not supported (no standard compile-classpath convention).
Tests
-----
* Unit tests in TestBuildSystemClassPaths cover each strategy via
wrapper-script stubs, `^` lookup, CWD-based CLI resolution, cache
behavior, remote-script rejection, and failure paths.
* Integration tests in BuildSystemClassPathsIT exercise all four
real build tools using fixtures under `itests/builddeps/<tool>/`.
Each fixture ships a `mise.toml` declaring the tool it needs; the
IT runs `mise install` per fixture and then `mise exec` to invoke
jbang with the declared tools on PATH. Tests skip cleanly when
mise is not installed. Mill ships its official bootstrap script
(`./mill`) in the fixture, matching how real Mill projects work.
Docs
----
`docs/modules/ROOT/pages/running.adoc` now has a dedicated section
with a "Why" motivation, a per-tool support table, caching
behavior, and limitations.
@maxandersen I've left a comment on the other ticket, not sure if commenting here is preferred. I just wanted to see what your thoughts are about merging this so it gets into the next release.
State that command-line build-file paths resolve from the current working directory.
Line 106 says build-file paths resolve relative to the script. The code resolves --deps values against the current working directory, because ProjectBuilder.updateProject calls classPaths(deps, null). Line 113 only says that "the same references" work on the command line. A reader can therefore expect script-relative resolution for --deps. Add that --deps paths, and the starting directory for ^, are relative to the current working directory.

Enforce the install timeout without skipping install failures.
Keep the existing assumption for an unavailable mise. A non-zero install result must fail the test. Redirect the merged output to a temporary file, wait for the process independently, and destroy it when the timeout expires.

Invalidate the cache when a Maven parent POM changes.
If a parent POM changes a managed dependency version, the child POM and old JAR paths can remain unchanged. JBang then uses the old version, so a script using the new API can fail to compile. Track parent POM changes or bypass cache reuse when they cannot be tracked safely. --fresh is a manual workaround.

Limit the directive compatibility claim.
A bare PREVIEW in build.jbang does not enable Java preview features. A project that relies on it can fail to compile.

Review comment at @docs/modules/ROOT/pages/running.adoc at line 199:
The build.jbang description overstates compatibility by implying every bare directive has the same effect as its source-file form. Update the paragraph around “build.jbang project files” to qualify the directive-name claim and clarify that bare PREVIEW does not enable Java preview features; direct users to place //PREVIEW in the first resolved source or use --enable-preview.

Experimental: use a build file as a JBang dependency
Supersedes #2597 (which only covered Maven + Gradle and lacked caching, integration tests, and remote-script safeguards). Addresses #449 and #43.
Adds an experimental
//DEPS <build-file>(and--deps <build-file>) syntax that lets a script reuse the compile dependencies declared in a real project's build file. JBang invokes the matching build tool, extracts the compile classpath, caches it, and adds the entries to the script's classpath.Command-line form:
What changed vs #2597
BuildSysteminterface + one class per tool (MavenBuildSystem,GradleBuildSystem,SbtBuildSystem,MillBuildSystem). Shared plumbing (subprocess runner, wrapper detection,JBANG_CLASSPATH=marker) lives inBuildTools. Adding a fifth tool is a new class + one line in a registry.--disable-ticker show compileClasspathand understands theqref:vN:HASH:PATH/ref:vN:HASH:PATHentry format. sbt usesexport Compile / dependencyClasspathwith output validation.jbang cache clear --projects.--depspath resolution fixed to resolve relative to CWD instead of the script's directory. Previouslyjbang --deps pom.xml properties@jbangdevlooked forpom.xmlin the catalog cache dir.

Mill ships its official./millbootstrap script the way real Mill projects do.Known scope limitation (feedback wanted)
Only the project's declared compile dependencies are added — the project's own compiled classes are not. If you need to reference the project's source from a script, pull the files in with
//SOURCES:A future release may add a scope option (
compilevsruntime) so the project's own output can be included automatically. Which scope should be the default? Feedback welcome — comment below.Security
Build files can execute code. This is called out in the docs and is why the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Only use with build files you trust.
