Description

If I copy/paste an API into my Java source, it would be nice to get assistance suggesting what dependencies to add to my app.

Especially something that's not already covered by the aggregate Jakarta/MicroProfile platform dependencies, like com.ibm.websphere.security.jwt.JwtConsumer.

What does the dev mode generateFeatures already do here?

Investiagte.

Research direction

Start by investigating what dev mode's generateFeatures already does for APIs copied into Java source. Compare the requested dependency suggestions for Liberty/Jakarta/MicroProfile APIs with pom.xml and build.gradle, including com.ibm.websphere.security.jwt.JwtConsumer. Done means determining the existing coverage and defining the dependency-suggestion behavior needed.
