- Method Detail
  - getDependencyId
```
java.lang.String getDependencyId()
```
    Get the ID of the module that this dependency describes. The dependency may be upon specific versions or a range of versions. Nevertheless, the module given by the returned ID will be required in one version or another.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the ID of the module that this depends on
  - getVersionString
```
java.lang.String getVersionString()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns a string representation of the versions supported
  - isValidDependency
```
boolean isValidDependency(ModuleDetails moduleDetails)
```
    Check if a module satisfies the dependency requirements.
    
    Parameters:
    
    moduleDetails - the module details of the dependency. This must be the details of the module with the correct ID. This may be null in which case false will always be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if the module satisfies the dependency requirements.
