John Casey resolved MNG-78:
---------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
should be fixed, using dependency scoping and packaging combination.
this particular bug referred to scoping.
> create dependency classification system to minimize local repo bloat
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-78
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-78
> Project: m2
> Type: Task
> Environment: n/a
> Reporter: John Casey
>
> Original Estimate: 8 hours
> Remaining: 8 hours
>
> Currently, all dependencies are resolved and retrieved transitively before a
> project is built. This means that any dependencies included in other
> projects' poms purely for testing purposes (f.e. jmock, junit, httpunit,
> etc.) will also be downloaded, regardless of whether the current project
> actually needs them for testing. The net result is a bloated local
> repository, as all testing, etc. [non-runtime] dependencies of each
> dependency project is retrieved.
> One facet of the consequences of this can be seen in MNG-77.
> There has been some talk about how best to classify dependencies within
> maven, but as far as I know, nothing concrete has come out of it. I would
> like to nail this particular functionality down, and get it implemented, to
> reduce the overhead of manual POM construction, among other things.
> Often, it is completely inappropriate to include compile-time dependencies in
> a bundled distro (f.e. EJBs cannot include j2ee.jar). This issue has seen
> some play on the maven-1 lists lately, and I'd like to hit it out of the park
> with m2.
