Wendy Smoak commented on MYFACES-1406:
--------------------------------------
Core has a dependency on Shared.
myfaces/core/impl/pom.xml:
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.shared</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-shared-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
</artifactItem>
Therefore, Shared cannot depend on the current snapshot of Core or we will have a
circular dependency. (Note that it's in a plugin execution and not a normal
<dependency>, so Maven won't catch it during dependency resolution.)
The JSF 1.1 API hasn't changed, so it shouldn't matter whether myfaces-impl
builds against 1.1.1 or 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT (or against the API jar from the
reference implementation, for that matter.) I'm not as opposed to this one,
but I don't think it's necessary... and the fewer snapshot dependencies the
better. The situation may improve once 1.1.4 is available, because it will be
in the same groupId as the current snapshot.
Core and Shared project has dependency on myfaces:myfaces-api version 1.1.1

Key: MYFACES-1406
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1406
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build process
Affects Versions: 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT
Reporter: Paul Spencer
Attachments: patch-to-core.txt, patch-to-shared.txt
Core and Shared project has dependency on myfaces:myfaces-api version 1.1.1.
Their are 2 problems here:
1) The dependency group is myfaces instead of org.apache.myfaces.core
2) The version number is wrong.
In many places this problem is minimized by the fact that the depenency is marked as
"provided". I notices the problem why using eclipse. Eclipse was trying to
use the 1.1.1 version of the API even though I was working with the 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT .
