Research direction

Locate AqlQueryBuilder and inspect how build() assembles AQL. Add the requested Transitive() entry point so the generated query supports the .transitive() suffix, then verify the resulting AQL against the issue's Artifactory example.

Description

feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
transitive is a artifactory feature To enable a search within a remote repository
The aql is like items.find(“repo”: “remote-repo”).transitive()

Describe the solution you'd like to see
Add AqlQueryBuilder.Transitive() method.

Describe alternatives you've considered
String aql = builder.build() + ".transitive()";, manually construct the aql string, thus not benefiting fromartifactory-client-java at all.
