Robert Scholte commented on MSHARED-567:
----------------------------------------
In general I would say that any *-utils should never depend on maven core
dependencies. I think currently toolchain support have been improved a lot, so
no need to have it here. Kind of a shame we just moved to 3.x, because this is
actually a major change.
> remove dependency on Maven core
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: MSHARED-567
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-567
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: maven-shared-utils
> Affects Versions: maven-shared-utils-3.0.2
> Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
>
> while creating an API for java tool in MSHARED-304, Maven core's Toolchain
> API is used: this makes maven-shared-utils dependant on Maven core.
> Since maven-shared-utils is expected to be a fundamental utilities library,
> ideally which could replace plexus-utils, depending on Maven core will cause
> a chicken and egg issue, since Maven core should be able to use
> maven-shared-utils
> for example, I'm working on MSHARED-562 and this dependency makes me think
> that I cannot let the new code in maven-shared-utils and create a dependency
> from Maven core on maven-shared-utils...
