Robert Scholte reassigned MENFORCER-385:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Enforce that transitive provided dependencies are contained in the runtime
> Maven classpath
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MENFORCER-385
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-385
> Project: Maven Enforcer Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Standard Rules
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> All dependencies with {{provided}} scope are not transitively inherited.
> While this isn't a problem usually during compile time it is a problem for
> Maven plugins at run time, as they use the Maven dependency classpath also at
> run time
> (https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-maven-classloading.html#3-plugin-classloaders).
> At run time they fail if the transitive provided dependency has not been
> declared explicitly.
> As manually specifying all transitive (but hidden) {{provided}} dependencies
> is a very error-prone process an enforcer rule for that would be highly
> beneficial. Especially as the transitive dependencies have to be rechecked
> once you upgrade to a newer version.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> My Maven Plugin "A" -> 3rd Party Library "B" -> Provided Dependency "C"{code}
> As "B" uses "C" at run time it needs to be declared as dependency of "A" as
> well otherwise you might see {{java.lang.ClassNotFoundException}} when
> executing Maven plugin "A".
