Building and packaging software

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform comprising:

• building, by the processing device, a source code with a builder module—in view of a project object model (POM) from a source control module, the builder module communicating with a builder file system and a building tool;
• determining a new file downloaded by the building of the source code;
• identifying the new file as a build dependency;
• storing, by the processing device, information of one a referenced file of the source code and the new file in a database, the referenced file and the new file identified in the database as build dependencies;
• tracking, by the processing device, a build environment of the source code with the builder module and the referenced file;
• downloading a plugin to complete the building in view of the POM from an external plugin repository;
• scanning a local plugin repository to determine which plugins have already been downloaded;
• and
• re-scanning the local plugin repository to determine additional plugins and associated plugin POM files that were downloaded during the build as build dependencies.

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• a memory to store a source control module, the source control module executable by the processing device, to store a project object model (POM);
• and
• a builder module coupled to the source control module, the builder module to build a source code in view of the POM of the source control module, to determine a new file downloaded by the building of the source code, to identify the new file as a build dependency, and to track a build environment of the source code by scanning a local plugin repository to determine a referenced file as a build dependency;
• downloading a plugin to complete the building in view of the POM from an external plugin repository;
• scanning the local plugin repository to determine which plugins have already been downloaded;
• re-scanning the local plugin repository to determine additional plugins and associated plugin POM files that were downloaded during the build as build dependencies;
• and
• a database coupled to the builder module, the database to store information of the referenced file of the source code and the new file, the referenced file and the new file identified in the database as build dependencies.
