Michael Meng reopened MWAR-166:
-------------------------------
I use the latest version already (2.1-alpha-2), May be I misunderstood the
<optional> usage. Here is what I want --
In the project pom.xml, we define
<dependency>
<groupId>ubhsc</groupId>
<artifactId>service</artifactId>
<!--version>2.5.1</version-->
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
and the service-2.5.1.jar are depends on serviceSub-2.6.1.jar (transitive)
It ends up adding the serviceSub-2.6.1.jar to WEB-INF/lib folder and not adding
service-2.5.1.jar to the WEB-INF/lib folder.
Here what I really need is add service-2.5.1.jar to the WEB-INF/lib folder,
but exclude the serviceSub-2.6.1.jar from the WEB-INF/lib folder.
How to achieve this without using overlay or exclude.... ?
Thanks

> Would you please add a flag which will allow user to have a flexibility to

> If we define A.jar as <optional>true</optional>, then A.jar is exclude from

> What we really want is A.jar to be in lib and B.jar not to be include.
