Build & Project Commands

Reference for build, install, classpath, manifest, and project commands

elide build

Build the current project. Bare arguments select targets; --inspect lists available tasks.

elide build
elide build deps compile
elide build --no-cache test

elide install

Maven is the default ecosystem. Use --ecosystems to select a set or --workspace for every ecosystem declared by the project.

elide install
elide install --ecosystems=npm
elide install --ecosystems=maven,npm
elide install --workspace

PyPI installation is not available in current builds.

Maven installation writes compile, runtime, test, and annotation-processor classpath files below .dev/dependencies/m2/.

elide classpath

Print a dependency classpath. Optional usage arguments select a classpath, and --offline disables network resolution.

elide classpath
elide classpath runtime

elide manifest

Print the resolved manifest as JSON. Global --quiet silences progress and diagnostics only; the manifest document itself still prints.

elide manifest
elide manifest --quiet

elide project

Use info for project metadata and advice for coding-agent guidance.

elide project info
elide project advice

advice appends the first applicable project guidance file when one is present.
