Abstract
A determination is made that at least one missing dependency reference of a portion of a software code build prevents full dependency resolution of the software code build. Search path processing is invoked using a SEARCHPATH definition to locate all additional accessible code modules that are potential candidate code modules to resolve the at least one missing dependency reference. The SEARCHPATH definition includes a set of predefined alternative search locations relative to dependency locations specified for the software code build. An interface definition of each coded method is identified within each located additional accessible code module found by the search path processing. A code module found by the search path processing that includes an identified interface definition of at least one coded method that resolves at least a portion of interface requirements of the at least one missing dependency reference is selected.
