Disabling Transitive Dependencies
Is there any way that when a dependency is configured, just that dependency
is downloaded and nothing else. It seems that with just a few dependencies
on a project, my lib folder in my war is growing way too big with jars that
I don't even need i.e. servlet-api-2.4.jar. I read the transitive
dependency stuff on the m2 site, but I really don't follow it too well. My
project consists of mainly struts, spring and hibernate.
I tried the following:
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
But it still copied the jar into the lib folder of the war. I am more
comfortable using maven 1, but I wanted to move over to m2, but I seem to be
spending way too much time trying to figure out this whole transitive
dependency stuff and less time configuring my project.
I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks
Juan A.

I think you add an "<exclusions>" tag to a dependency. See the "POM
reference" in the maven 2 site at "
http://maven.apache.org/maven2/maven-model/maven.html"
enjoy..

Oh sure - I meant in general... does maven declare that poms defined
in internal repos override ibiblio?

You need to figure out the right groupId for the exclusion. Depending
on where you're getting the dependency from it's either
<groupId>servletapi</groupId> or <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>

Do repositories defined in settings.xml or poms always override the
ones in ibiblio?

I humbly suggest you (Dave Brondsema, Juan Alvarado) create an issue in
JIRA listing the plug-ins with malformed meta-data so that the developers
have something more concrete to work off.
Kind regards,
Dave Sag

Please submit these fixes back to the project if you can. It won't
take long for us to get all the metadata cleaned up in this way.

Many projects in the m2 repository don't specify <scope> and <optional>
properly for all their dependencies, so you can get a lot of extra jars.
What I've done to solve this is create our own remote repository which
has pom files to override ones like that in ibiblio.
