Christian Schulte commented on MNG-6135: ---------------------------------------- See [this thread|http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/msg112480.html] on dev@. Issue is resolved, not closed. > Maven plugins and core extensions are not dependencies, they should be > resolved the same way as projects. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6135 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6135 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Christian Schulte > Assignee: Christian Schulte > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.6.0-candidate > > > Due to a bug in the Maven resolver, plugin and core extensions were resolved > incorrectly: the direct {{test}} and {{provided}} dependencies were ignored. > Ironically, this fix breaks some plugins because direct {{test}} dependencies > now take precedence over transitive {{compile}} one: see MNG-5739 > (we know only one case where {{provided}} case has an impact: MPLUGIN-296, > and in this only case, the new behaviour is more consistent than the previous) > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
