ResolvableDependencies

The primary view of the results of resolving a Configuration. Results can be obtained in several forms, each catering to different use cases:

• getFiles returns a FileCollection that provides the result as a set of java.io.File instances.
• getResolutionResult returns a ResolutionResult that provides information about the dependency graph without downloading artifacts.
• getArtifacts returns an ArtifactCollection that provides the files with additional metadata.
• artifactView provides several APIs, which can perform lenient artifact resolution, trigger artifact transforms, or filter artifacts. Furthermore, artifact views can be used to perform variant re-selection, allowing sources and javadoc artifacts to be selected from a graph, among other things.

The dependencies are resolved once only, when the result is first requested. The result is reused and returned for subsequent calls. Once resolved, any mutation to the dependencies will result in an error.
