Tomislav Stojcevich commented on MNG-1403: ------------------------------------------ I don't see how this is a duplicate of MNG-702. >From the comments it looks like that request resulted in the creation of the >optional tag. What I am requesting is that if the dependency is marked as optional, don't download it by default or create a flag to specify if optionals should or shouldn't be downloaded. Much less of a headache for those of us who only use very few of the dependencies that are marked as optional. > Add on option to include optional dependencies instead of (or in addition to) > excluding optional dependencies > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1403 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1403 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Tomislav Stojcevich > Assignee: Brett Porter > Priority: Minor > > > It seems backwards to have to exclude optional dependencies.
