1. Maven is not just about java (though very java focused I admit) endorsed does not make sense outside of java 2. Whether a dependency needs to be endorsed or not depends on the jvm version it targets... A dep can be fine until it gets added to the jvm spec. 3. It should probably more correctly be <scope>endorsed</scope> 4. Where would you package an endorsed dependency within a .war or .ear file?
And don't get me started on the fact that to change this requires changing the Pom format (which potentially could break ivy, gradle, leinengen, sbt, etc) Not an easy problem to solve, but I feel your pain On Friday, 21 September 2012, Markus KARG wrote: > Thank you for pointing me to this excellent blog entry, but in fact I > wonder > why such a great tool like Maven doesn't have built-in support for endorsed > dependencies?
