Recursive dependencies
Hi!
I'd like to know if there is any elegant way to avoid defining the
dependencies of the dependencies.
E.g. My project depends on xdoclet but xdoclet depends on commons-logging
and commons-collections, so I must include dependencies to every xdoclet jar
and both commons jars
<!-- XDoclet dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xjavadoc</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-xdoclet-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-ejb-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-web-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-jmx-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-jboss-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2b4</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<!-- Jakarta Commons Dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3</version>
<url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons</url>
</dependency>
What I have done is save this in a separate xml file and include it in
project.xml with a standard xml include. That cleans the code a bit.
It would be easier if every jar had some kind of metadata to define
dependencies (maybe its maven project file?) ;)
Thanks in advance

I'm sorry but what I've found were recomendations to explicitly set every
dependence. I'll suppose that it's the last word.

It is always helpful to take a quick look at the mail archive before
asking questions.

happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will
elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come
and sit softly on your shoulder ...
