When you mark a dependency as optional, and it fails to build, the dependee still gets built. As such, it ought be optional. :-) Some annotations (read the last one): Info Sole jar [excalibur-instrument-20040526.jar] identifier set to project name Info Dependency on avalon-framework exists, no need to add for property avalon-framework.jar. Info Dependency on junit exists, no need to add for property junit.jar. Info Dependency on checkstyle exists, no need to add for property checkstyle.jar. Info Optional dependency checkstyle prerequisite failed with reason build failed Info Optional dependency avalon-framework prerequisite failed with reason build failed See http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/gump/project/avalon-excalibur.xml?view=markup <project name="excalibur-instrument"> ... <!-- optional dependencies --> <option project="avalon-framework" runtime="true" id="combined"/> <option project="checkstyle" inherit="runtime"/> regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
