Add a <properties> element to the schema for dependencies a la M1 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3065 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3065 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Improvement Components: Dependencies Affects Versions: 2.0.x Reporter: Jason Melnick Priority: Minor Adding the optional <properties> element to the dependency element graph will allow more control for plug-in developers, as well as making things like WAR packaging much more straightforward. Why would I want to have to mess around with declaring dependencies of a WAR project that uses it's EARs deps <optional> so that they aren't included in WEB-INF/lib? These deps are NOT optional - it's just a workaround to get it to work because a clear facility isn't provided. Specifying <properties><war.bundle>true</war.bundle></properties> is much more clear for all parties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
