Build Tools and Package Managers

Code Sight lets you specify the build tools used for a project that Black Duck scans. The details depend on the IDE.

Eclipse

The tool can be either Apache® Maven™ or npm®.

  • Maven

    Specify the local installation of Maven in Eclipse Preferences: Preferences dialog > Maven > Installations.

    Make sure the Maven installation has permission to execute.

    Attention: Code Sight does not support the EMBEDDED runtime.

  • npm

    The npm executable must be in an accessible location. Add this location to the $PATH environment variable.

IntelliJ

The tool can be either Maven or npm.

  • Maven

    Specify the local installation of Maven in IntelliJ Preferences: Preferences dialog > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven > Maven home path.

    Make sure the Maven installation has permission to execute.

    Attention: Code Sight does not support the EMBEDDED runtime.

  • npm

    For the Ultimate edition of IntelliJ, Code Sight automatically uses the npm path that is specified in Preferences dialog > Languages & Frameworks > Node.js and NPM > Node Interpreter.

    For the Community edition, save the npm executable in an accessible location from which it can be run. Add this location to the $PATH environment variable.

Visual Studio

The tool can be either NuGet or npm.

  • NuGet

    For the NuGet package manager, no additional configuration is necessary.

  • npm

    The npm executable must be in an accessible location. Add this location to the $PATH environment variable.
