    • getAllRequiredLibraries

      List<ILibrary> getAllRequiredLibraries()

      Gets all libraries that are required by this library, in breadth-first order, without duplicates.

      The libraries in the returned list are ordered as follows:

      1. Direct required libraries ordered by position in dependency list (See ILibrarySpecification.getPosition()). Libraries with the same position will be ordered alphabetically.
      2. Libraries that are required by the direct required libraries (1st level of indirection) ordered first by position of the direct required library and second by their own position.
      3. Libraries that are required by the 1st level of indirect required libraries (i.e. 2nd level of indirection).
      4. etc ...

      Example:

      1. LibZurich -> LibBern, LibLucerne
      2. LibBern -> LibGeneva, LibBasel, LibLausanne
      3. LibLucerne -> LibBasel, LibSierre
      4. LibBasel -> LibLausanne, LibZug

      For this configuration getAllRequiredLibraries() will return the following list of all required libraries for LibZurich:

      [LibBern, LibLucerne, LibGeneva, LibBasel, LibLausanne, LibSierre, LibZug]

      Returns:
      list of all required libraries. Maybe empty. Never null.
