Surefire providers shouldn't need to download old versions of the library
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-615
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-615
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JUnit 3.x support, Junit 4.x support, Maven Surefire
Plugin, TestNG support
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Brett Porter
currently, the Surefire plugin uses resolveTransitively to obtain the Surefire
provider (junit, junit4, junit47, testng). Each of these has a compile time
dependency on the library itself to interact with their API.
This results in downloading older versions as well as the newer one requested
by the project (TestNG 5.7, JUnit 4.0, JUnit 3.8.1). There are two possible
solutions to this:
- alter the resolveTranstively method to exclude the artifact that is already
available from the project
- set the dependency to 'provided' in the providers POM
