Springframework: Add Optional Flag to Implementation Specific Dependencies --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEV-108 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-108 Project: Maven Evangelism Type: Improvement Components: Dependencies Reporter: Stephen Duncan Jr Many dependencies of the springframework should have the optional flag set (<optional>true</optional>). For spring-orm: spring-webmvc, toplink-api, jdo, ibatis (probably others) For spring-jdbc: c3p0, commons-dbcp, xapool For spring-hibernate: hibernate3, hibernate-annotations, hibernate2 Assumably there are many others that Spring developers would know, but these are ones I know are optional. The use case is here is that I want to use spring-hibernate with hibernate 2 only. Therefore of the listed optional dependencies, only hibernate 2 (net.sf.hibernate:hibernate) should be required. I currently receive the others transitively, but they are not desired, and frequently will not be desired. Therefore it's better to set them to be flagged as optional, instead of forcing users to set exclusions.
