The changes that have been committed in [r354544|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=354544] are insufficient as they neither update the [DefaultArtifactCollector|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/tags/maven-2.0.1/maven-artifact/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/artifact/resolver/DefaultArtifactCollector.java] nor the [DefaultModelDefaultsInjector|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/tags/maven-2.0.1/maven-project/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/project/injection/DefaultModelDefaultsInjector.java] to propage the optional flag from a managed dependency/artifact to a project dependency. > Optional tag in dependencyManagement is not inherited in the children projects > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-1630 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1630 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Carlos Sanchez > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0.1 > > Attachments: it1020.patch, MNG-1630-maven-artifact.patch, > MNG-1630-maven-project.patch > > > If I put this in the parent pom, all the subprojects should inherit the > optional tag (and be able to override it) > <dependencyManagement> > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>cglib</groupId> > <artifactId>cglib</artifactId> > <version>2.1_2</version> > <optional>true</optional> > </dependency> > </dependencies> > </dependencyManagement> > it test attached -- 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
