I want the tool to support it out of the box by including the information in the pom that goes along with the artifacts it creates. Cmy - We're not doing any extra work to get that info into the manifest. The plugin that does that is defined in a corporate POM that everyone uses. If all of my deps in my POMs are at release then they have all of the dependency info they need, including transient, why wouldn't it? Of course, the pom is in XML which is eXtensible, so existing tools can ignore this extra information if they like! So I don't see why it should be a problem. You want to be able to Audit but eschew documentation like a Site > reports? Again seems sort of cake-and-eat-it-too to me. > Perhaps I expressed myself poorly. I am fine creating documentation like site reports, but I want to be able to derive the information in the site report from the metadata associated with my binaries. Cmy - Again, I think we can, it's all in the POM and running a dependency:resolve will go beyond the POM. -Curt This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
