Rene Krell commented on MNG-4831:
---------------------------------
Has there been any progress with this issue? Maybe in newer Maven versions?
Actually, loosing transitive dependencies just because they are filtered out in
the appropriate POM makes using of dependencysets with maven-assembly-plugin
very difficult (tested with Maven 2.2.1).
> artifact.getDependencyTrail() doesn't include full information; causes
> problems filtering artifacts by transitive dependency trail

> Key: MNG-4831
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4831
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0-beta-3
> Reporter: John Casey
>
> Artifact.getDependencyTrail() is a List, not a graph. This means the artifact
> doesn't include information about every artifact that depends on that
> artifact.
> In cases where the project's artifacts are filtered using the dependency
> trail, it can become impossible to capture the full dependency closure for an
> included artifact if that artifact depends on something that an excluded
> artifact also depends on.
> For a concrete example / test case of this, see MASSEMBLY-504.
> In this example, A and B both depend on C. However, the dependencySet
> _excludes_ B from the assembly. By luck of the draw, profile dependencies are
> appended to the project's other dependencies, and B is in the dependencyTrail
> of C, not A (both are valid to be there). Since transitive filtering is
> enabled, C is _excluded_ from the assembly along with B, and the classpath
> for A is not fully represented.
