Stephane Nicoll closed MWAR-166. -------------------------------- Assignee: Stephane Nicoll Resolution: Won't Fix It's not something that you need to manage in plugins. Use excludes section if you want to exclude a dependency. Note that optional works as expected in the latest release > exclude the transitive dependency > --------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-166 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-166 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Michael Meng > Assignee: Stephane Nicoll > Priority: Critical > > Would you please add a flag which will allow user to have a flexibility to > include/exclude the transitive dependent jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder? > The <optional>true</optional> defined inthe dependency is working as desired. > if we have a war project which depends on A.jar and A.jar transitively > depends on B.jar (B.jar is not defined in pom.xml). currently the A.jar and > B.jar are both included in the lib folder. > If we define A.jar as <optional>true</optional>, then A.jar is exclude from > lib folder, but B.jar are included. > What we really want is A.jar to be in lib and B.jar not to be include. > Thanks -- 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
