- - ### Method Detail

    - #### project

          ProjectDependencySpecBuilder project​(String path)

      Defines a new dependency, based on a project path. The returned dependency can be mutated.
      Parameters:
        `path` - the project path
      Returns:
        a mutable dependency, added to this container

    - #### library

          ProjectDependencySpecBuilder library​(String name)

      Defines a new dependency, based on a library name. The returned dependency can be mutated.
      Parameters:
        `name` - of the library
      Returns:
        a mutable dependency, added to this container

    - #### module

          ModuleDependencySpecBuilder module​(String moduleIdOrName)

      Defines a new module dependency, based on a module id or a simple name. The returned dependency can be mutated.
      Parameters:
        `moduleIdOrName` - of the module
      Returns:
        a mutable module dependency, added to this container

    - #### group

          ModuleDependencySpecBuilder group​(String name)

      Defines a new module dependency, based on a module group name. The returned dependency can be mutated.
      Parameters:
        `name` - of the module group
      Returns:
        a mutable module dependency, added to this container

    - #### getDependencies

          Collection<DependencySpec> getDependencies()

      Returns an immutable view of dependencies stored in this container.
      Returns:
        an immutable view of dependencies. Each dependency in the collection is itself immutable.

    - #### isEmpty

          boolean isEmpty()

      Returns true if this container doesn't hold any dependency.
      Returns:
        true if this container doesn't contain any dependency specification.
