Kenney Westerhof commented on MNG-871: -------------------------------------- Looking at the ear plugin code, it doesn't use the Dependencies but the Artifacts, which have been resolved by the m2 core. Since, I think, it always tries to get the pom before resolving, AND m2 has to know which artifact type it is getting, that information is available. I don't understand why artifact.type isn't set then.. So we shouldn't have to propagate back to Dependency since that isn't used. (Also, it seems that the <modules> section of the plugin configuration is not necessary - all the dependencies are added anyway.) > propagate the type attribute of a pom up to the dependency when dependency > doesn't specify it > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-871 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-871 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: maven-core > Reporter: Adam Hardy > > > Using maven-ear-plugin, I have two dependencies in my project and I left out > the types when I declared the dependencies. > maven-ear-plugin generated an application.xml descriptor for the EAR file, > but left out the module declarations which it should have generated for the > EJB dependencies, because the dependency types defaulted to JAR. > The dependencies are not updated to reflect the type of the pom associated > with it, and hence type has to be specified, yet it is possible to leave it > out. > However, since the type information is available in the pom, it would be very > convenient if m2 just propagated that back to the dependency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
