I have the portlet-api defined as provided scope in a parent POM in dependencyManagement. As expected, the following message occurs indicating that 'provided' is the scope that will be used:
[WARNING] Artifact javax.portlet:portlet-api:jar:1.0 retains local scope 'provided' overriding broader scope 'compile' given by a dependency. If this is not intended, modify or remove the local scope. When I run with -X, the following section of output indicates that it WAS selected for compile, but then overriden: [DEBUG] mil.jfcom.cie.portal:cdcie-portletframework:jar:1.2.1 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] javax.portlet:portlet-api:jar:1.0 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] springframework:spring-beans:jar:1.2.5 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] springframework:spring-core:jar:1.2.5 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:3.1 (removed - nearer found: 2.1) [DEBUG] commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:3.1 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.0.4 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] springframework:spring-core:jar:1.2.5 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:2.1 (removed - nearer found: 3.1) [DEBUG] commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:3.1 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.0.4 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-lang:commons-lang:jar:2.1 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] springframework:spring-context:jar:1.2.5 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.0.4 (selected for compile) [DEBUG] javax.portlet:portlet-api:jar:1.0 (not setting scope to: compile; local scope provided wins) [WARNING] Artifact javax.portlet:portlet-api:jar:1.0 retains local scope 'provided' overriding broader scope 'compile' given by a dependency. If this is not intended, modify or remove the local scope. However, it's ending up in my WAR. Seems like it's a WAR plugin problem, maybe? -- Stephen Duncan Jr www.stephenduncanjr.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
