Saminda Wishwajith Abeyruwan commented on MNG-2315:
---------------------------------------------------
Maven2 is all about dependency management, and transient dependencies are an
important part of it. Giving a switch to exclude all the transient dependencies
would be an cogent thing to do.
Having been able to obtain transient dependencies is an powerful feature. With
the scenarios we have encountered so far, it has been obvious that a some sort
of control over transient dependency is a viable solution.
If we could restrict that, Maven2 should look for particular depth in the
transient tree, rather than all the way down, it would be a much more valuable
thing for the users.
Thus,
<dependency>
...
<transientDepth>1</transientDepth>
</dependency>
Thus, EII transientDepth would contain the depth that the transient resolution
framework should look in the transient dependent tree. Value of 1 mean,
dependencies in the next level only.
if transientDepth is 0, it is same as
<excludeTransitive>true</excludeTransitive>.
We know Maven2 rocks and has addressed many of the building issues. Hope we
would get a way to control the transient dependencies as well. (What about
2.0.8 :) )
