FAQPage Schema
How do I check pom.xml dependencies for CVEs and license risks?

You can check pom.xml dependencies for CVEs and license risks by analyzing your project to surface version gaps, security vulnerabilities, and licensing issues. This provides actionable upgrade guidance and health scoring for your JVM ecosystem.

How do I analyze dependencies in a multi-module Maven project?

Analyze dependencies in a multi-module Maven project by running an evaluation against your repository. This identifies version, security, and licensing risks across all modules and returns structured recommendations for safe upgrades.

Can I use this to scan a Gradle build.gradle file for dependency health?

Yes, you can scan a build.gradle file for dependency health. The analysis applies to both Maven and Gradle projects, providing version history checks, CVE detection, and license risk assessment for Java, Kotlin, and Scala ecosystems.

What is the best way to plan a safe JVM dependency upgrade?

The best way to plan a safe JVM dependency upgrade is to run an analysis that surfaces version gaps and security vulnerabilities. This provides migration planning with actionable recommendations and structured upgrade guidance.

Does Maven Tools work with Kotlin and Scala ecosystems?

Yes, Maven Tools works with Kotlin and Scala ecosystems. It provides dependency intelligence, security checks, and license risk assessment for the broader JVM ecosystem, not just Java projects.

Why do I need to configure an MCP server for dependency analysis?

You need to configure an MCP server to enable the dependency analysis workflow. The Maven Tools MCP server integration processes your pom.xml or build.gradle files and returns structured health checks and upgrade recommendations.
