## Class WorkspaceRepository

- java.lang.Object
- - org.eclipse.aether.repository.WorkspaceRepository

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ArtifactRepository

      public final class WorkspaceRepository
      extends Object
      implements ArtifactRepository

  A repository backed by an IDE workspace, the output of a build session or similar ad-hoc collection of artifacts. As far as the repository system is concerned, a workspace repository is read-only, i.e. can only be used for artifact resolution but not installation/deployment. Note that this class merely describes such a repository, actual access to the contained artifacts is handled by a `WorkspaceReader`.

- - ### Constructor Summary

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### WorkspaceRepository

          public WorkspaceRepository()

      Creates a new workspace repository of type `"workspace"` and a random key.

    - #### WorkspaceRepository

          public WorkspaceRepository(String type)

      Creates a new workspace repository with the specified type and a random key.
      Parameters:
        `type` - The type of the repository, may be `null`.

    - #### WorkspaceRepository

          public WorkspaceRepository(String type,
                             Object key)

      Creates a new workspace repository with the specified type and key. The key is used to distinguish one workspace from another and should be sensitive to the artifacts that are (potentially) available in the workspace.
      Parameters:
        `type` - The type of the repository, may be `null`.
        `key` - The (comparison) key for the repository, may be `null` to generate a unique random key.

        The (case-sensitive) identifier, never `null`.

    - #### getKey

          public Object getKey()

      Gets the key of this workspace repository. The key is used to distinguish one workspace from another and should be sensitive to the artifacts that are (potentially) available in the workspace.
      Returns:
        The (comparison) key for this workspace repository, never `null`.
