Jar Analyzer

Dependency-check includes an analyzer that scans JAR files and collect as much information it can about the file as it can. The information collected is internally referred to as evidence and is grouped into vendor, product, and version buckets. Other analyzers later use this evidence to identify any Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifiers that apply. Additionally, if a POM is present the analyzer will add the Maven group, artifact, and version (GAV).

Files Types Scanned: JAR, WAR
