Abstract
A method and apparatus for building a source code based on a project object model (POM) from a source control and for tracking a build environment of the source code is described. Plugins to complete the build as configured in the POM are downloaded from an external plugin repository. A local plugin repository is scanned to determine which plugins have already been downloaded. The local plugin repository is rescanned to determine whether any additional plugins and associated plugins POM files were downloaded during the build as build dependencies. Information of one or more referenced files is inserted into a database wherein the referenced files are identified as build dependencies. Information about the newly-built plugins and associated plugins POM files in the output directory are extracted and added to the database for use by subsequent builds.
