Elliotte Rusty Harold resolved MDEP-871. ---------------------------------------- Resolution: Invalid Yes, I believe this is intended behavior. 3.5.0 was missing usages that 3.6.0+ pick up. > 3.6.0 reporting Used undeclared dependency that is only used indirectly > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MDEP-871 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-871 > Project: Maven Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: analyze > Affects Versions: 3.6.0 > Reporter: Joe Barnett > Assignee: Elliotte Rusty Harold > Priority: Major > > reproducer project: > [https://github.com/josephlbarnett/mdep-3.6.0-analyze-reproducer] > if you change the maven-dependency-plugin version to 3.5.0 in the above > project, the maven build will pass. > > It appears that referencing an interface that extends another interface (and > calling a method in that interface) is pulling that extended interface in as > a used dependency? In this case the > `software.amazon.awssdk.services.kms.KmsClientBuilder` interface extends an > interface from the aws-core jar > (`software.amazon.awssdk.awscore.client.builder.AwsClientBuilder`), and the > example code calls the `.region()` method. In 3.5.0 the aws-core dependency > was not treated as used, but in 3.6.0 it is. Unclear if this is only > interface extension or classes implementing interfaces would have a similar > problem? > > Is this intended behavior? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
