Dependency Between Components

A component can define dependencies with other components, including dependencies on a specific version of a component. This dependency is made using the constraints node of the component definition file.

The dependency can be:

• Existence: validates only if a particular component is installed.
• Version equal to: validates if a component is installed exactly at the required version.
• Version equal to or higher: validates if a component is installed at the required version or at a later version.
