Transitive dependencies of excluded artifacts are included in the .classpath file ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-522 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-522 Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path (.classpath) Affects Versions: 2.5.1 Environment: Wndows XP, JDK 5 u12 Reporter: Yousuf Haider Attachments: AbstractIdeSupportMojo.java If an artifact is set in the excludes list its transitive dependencies are not excluded from the .classpath. The issue lies in AbstractIdeSupportMojo where the doDependencyResolution() method checks that for each resolved artifact whether or not the artifact name (using this notation groupId:artifactId) is in the excludes List. Dependencies resolved using ArtifactCollector contain transitive dependencies which do not get excluded using the above mentioned mechanism. Proposed solution for this is to use ExcludeArtifactFilter and pass it on to the AritfactCollector in doDependency() method i.e instead of doing this : {{artifactResolutionResult = artifactCollector.collect( getProjectArtifacts(), project.getArtifact(), managedVersions, localRepo, project.getRemoteArtifactRepositories(), getArtifactMetadataSource(), *null*, listeners );}} We could do this: {{*ArtifactFilter filter = new ExcludesArtifactFilter(getExcludes());*}} {{artifactResolutionResult = artifactCollector.collect( getProjectArtifacts(), project.getArtifact(), managedVersions, localRepo, project.getRemoteArtifactRepositories(), getArtifactMetadataSource(), *filter*, listeners );}} This way the resovledDependencies don't contain the excluded artifacts as well as any transitive dependencies. Also it lets the ArtifactCollector to manage the exclusion instead of this plugin doing it itself.
