[Enhancement Goal Proposal]: add-dep to specific profile

[dearrudam]

What is the purpose of the new goal?

Today, the add-dep add or update dependencies into the default profile, which means, into the project/dependencies XML node.

Many projects are using profiles for many purposes, but such profiles are allowed to manage their own dependencies.

With that, it's needed to enhance the add-dep to add or update dependencies into a specific profile.

What is the expected behavior and output of the new goal?

Goal syntax:

$ mvn pom-editor:add-dep -Dprofile=<TARGET PROFILE> -Dforce=true -Dgav=<DEPENDENCY COORDINATES>

New inputs:

Property	Description
profile	the target profile that the dependency should be added
force	force to create the target profile if it doesn't exist at the target POM

:warning: Warning

This execution causes a side-effect into the target POM, then the backup process must keeping working.

Expected behavior and outcomes:

Scenario 01:

• Given the necessity to add or update a given dependency into an existent profile in a given POM

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>io.github.arrudalabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>profileA</id>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>a</groupId>
                    <artifactId>a</artifactId>
                    <version>1.0</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
</project>

• When the add-dep goal is executed with a given dependency info plus the -Dprofile=profileA property

$ mvn pom-editor:add-dep -Dprofile='profileA' -Dgav='a:a:1.1'

• Then the add-dep goal should add or update the given dependency into the dependencies XML node from the target profile;

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>io.github.arrudalabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>profileA</id>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>a</groupId>
                    <artifactId>a</artifactId>
                    <version>1.1</version> <!-- updated version -->
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
</project>

Scenario 02:

• Given the necessity to add or update a given dependency into a profile that doesn't exist in the target POM

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>io.github.arrudalabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</project>

• When the add-dep goal is executed with a given dependency info plus the -Dprofile=profileA only

$ mvn pom-editor:add-dep -Dprofile='profileA' -Dgav='a:a:1.1'

• Then the goal should alert an error explaining that the provided profile doesn't exist.

[ERROR] error to add or update the dependency: {groupId='a', artifactId='a', version='1.1'} in the "profileA" profile's dependencies into the pom: pom.xml: "profileA" profile doesn't exist.

Scenario 03:

• Given the necessity to add or update a given dependency into a profile that doesn't exist in the target POM

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>io.github.arrudalabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</project>

• When the add-dep goal is executed with a given dependency info plus the -Dprofile=profileA property, and -Dforce=true property

$ mvn pom-editor:add-dep -Dprofile='profileA' -Dforce=true -Dgav='a:a:1.1'

• Then the goal should create the target profile with the provided dependency into its dependencies XML node

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>io.github.arrudalabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>profileA</id> <!-- profile was created -->
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>a</groupId>
                    <artifactId>a</artifactId>
                    <version>1.1</version> 
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
</project>

Can I be assigned to work on it?
