Dear mavens,
I just started a new project using maven. For this project I needed torque
(decoupled). So I added torque to my POM dependencies in project.xml. All
worked fine, maven:update-jars fetched torque.jar just like I expected.
Then I wrote a little testing task, like this:
<available
classpathref="classpath"
property="torque.present"
classname="org.apache.torque.Torque"
/>
For my surprise, ${torque.present} was never set. I changed it to
org.apache.torque.util.SqlEnum and then it worked. So I figured torque's
jar was on my classpath. After running and with -debug option several
times, I found out that Torque class could not be loaded because some of
it's dependencies weren't present. So I copied most of the dependencies
from torque's project.xml and then it worked.
Question/Suggestion is:
- Shouldn't Maven take care of this? The information needed is there and
the process is always the same.
tks,
krico
