Optional tag in project dependency doesn't work
-----------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1646
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1646
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: maven-core
Versions: 2.0
Reporter: David Jackman
I have a simple project that has a few dependencies. One of the features of
this project depends on commons-codec, so I listed that dependency as optional
in the pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-codec</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
However, once I listed the dependency as optional, the compile didn't work
anymore. Using -X shows that the classpath no longer includes commons-codec.
If I change to <optional>false</optional>, it compiles correctly.
If you need the actual project that reproduces this, I can attach it.
