## Interface RepositoryContentDescriptor

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    `MavenRepositoryContentDescriptor`

      @Incubating
      public interface RepositoryContentDescriptor

  Descriptor of a repository content, used to avoid reaching to an external repository when not needed.

  Excludes are applied after includes. This means that by default, everything is included and nothing excluded. If includes are added, then if the module doesn't match any of the includes, it's excluded. Then if it does, but it also matches one of the excludes, it's also excluded.

  Since:
    5.1
