---------------------------------------
Summary: Add an option to blueprint-maven-plugin to exclude
dependencies.
Key: ARIES-1772
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1772
Project: Aries
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Blueprint
Affects Versions: blueprint-maven-plugin-1.9.0
Reporter: Daniel Estermann
Currently the list of scanned classes by blueprint-maven-plugin can be
restricted using scanPath parameter, so the list can also contain the classes
of the project dependencies. With my projects I experience two kind of issues
with it:
* If the the scan path is chosen too widely it may lead to a build failure.
For example: Assume project A has a dependency to project B an both have the
same base package, which is chosen as the scan path. Project B has a blueprint
bean, which implements an interface from some +provided+ dependency of it. The
build of project A will fail then, because it will try to scan a blueprint bean
of project B but it will miss its provided dependency. An example error message:
{code:java}
Failed to execute goal
org.apache.aries.blueprint:blueprint-maven-plugin:1.9.0:blueprint-generate
(default) on project email-template-editor-core: Execution default of goal
org.apache.aries.blueprint:blueprint-maven-plugin:1.9.0:blueprint-generate
failed: A required class was missing while executing
org.apache.aries.blueprint:blueprint-maven-plugin:1.9.0:blueprint-generate:
com/mycorporation/scheduler/api/ScheduledService{code}
* If a bean of project B appears in the autowire.xml of project A, but the
package of that bean is not imported in the manifest of project A, a
ClassNotFoundException will be thrown during runtime:
{code:java}
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.mycorporation.project-a.commons.notification.IncomingNotificationService
from [Module
"deployment.com.mycorporation.project-b.commons.core:0.0.1.SNAPSHOT" from
Service Module Loader]
{code}
I suggest to add an option, to exclude dependencies from the list of scanned
classes, like [maven-bundle-plugin's
excludeDependencies|http://felix.apache.org/components/bundle-plugin/bundle-mojo.html#excludeDependencies]
for example.
