Method Detail

accept

boolean accept(DependencyNode node,
             List<DependencyNode> parents)

Indicates whether the specified dependency node shall be included or excluded.

Parameters:

node - The dependency node to filter, must not be null.

parents - The (read-only) chain of parent nodes that leads to the node to be filtered, must not be null. Iterating this (possibly empty) list walks up the dependency graph towards the root node, i.e. the immediate parent node (if any) is the first node in the list. The size of the list also denotes the zero-based depth of the filtered node.

Returns:

true to include the dependency node, false to exclude it.
