Hello everyone, thanks for reading.
I have a JEE project with several modules:
- project-api
- project-core
- project-ejb
- project-view
- project-ear
On my server (OC4J) I have shared several common libraries for all the
deployed applications, like jakarta-commons, spring, and so on
On my project-ejb's pom.xml file I've configured these dependencies as
"provided" in order to avoid including these jars into my ear when i make a
"mvn install"
I need the OC4J to be aware of these dependencies, so I've configured the
Maven Archiver to include the classpath in the manifest file. The problem is
that when i build the project, it completely ignores the "provided" scoped
dependencies and doesn't adds them to the generated manifest.mf
.
So far I've tried several combinations with the <scope> and <optional>
dependencies attributes, but nothing seems to work.
Here's a portion of my pom:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<generateClient>true</generateClient>
<ejbVersion>3.0</ejbVersion>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.5.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
<optional>false</optional>
</dependency>
<!-- More dependencies here -->
Any hints or directions would be very appreciated...
Thanks in advice.
