Brett Porter commented on MNG-1978: ----------------------------------- if it is for the exclusion from the webapp, then that needs to be a feature of that plugin > "Provided" scope transitive dependencies required + exclude dependencies for > runtime scope only > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1978 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1978 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: New Feature > Components: documentation - faqs > Versions: 2.0.2 > Reporter: David Boden > > > Why are provided scope dependencies not transitive? > I have several examples in my project where I need to declare a dependency as > on the compilation classpath but not on the runtime classpath and I need it > to be transitive. I don't want the dependency to be packaged up in my > deployment artifact but my entire multi-project hierarchy relies on the > dependency. > At the moment, I have to workaround the problem, mostly by declaring > duplicate provided scope dependencies in multiple projects. > If there's a well-known answer to this query then apologies, could it be > placed in the "Introduction to Dependency Mechanism" documentation. > I would also be able to model my dependency structure more accurately if I > could <exclude/> a dependency from the runtime classpath only and keep it in > the compile classpath. > E.g. > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>SalesStation</groupId> > <artifactId>cds_ss_shared</artifactId> > <version>SNAPSHOT</version> > <exclusions> > <exclusion> > <groupId>SalesStation</groupId> > <artifactId>ss_base_shared</artifactId> > <!-- I want to be able to do this: --> > <scope>runtime</scope> <!-- Exclude from runtime > classpath only, not compile classpath --> > </exclusion> > </exclusions> > </dependency> > </dependencies> -- 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]
