["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-139?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Benjamin Bentmann moved MNG-4502 to MSHARED-139:
------------------------------------------------

           Complexity:   (was: Intermediate)
          Component/s:     (was: POM)
                       maven-archiver
    Affects Version/s:     (was: 2.2.0)
                       maven-archiver-2.4
                  Key: MSHARED-139  (was: MNG-4502)
              Project: Maven Shared Components  (was: Maven 2 & 3)

>             Project: Maven Shared Components
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> In the current implementation of the JAR packaging, the POM file is copied as is to META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/pom.xml. The POM inheritance makes this file useless to identify this artifact outside the maven environment.
> For example:
> In the parent POM
> {code}
> <dependencyManagement>
>   <dependencies>
>      <dependency>
>          <groupId>junit</groupId>
>          <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>          <version>4.4</version>
>          <scope>test</scope>
>      </dependency>
>   </dependencies>
> </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> in the child POM
> {code}
> <dependencies>
>    <dependency>
>        <groupId>junit</groupId>
>        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>    </dependency>
> </dependencies>
> {code}
> The child POM now declare dependency to junit:junit but there is no way to identify the version, scope or classifier and therefore i suggest attach a modified version of the POM to the artifact JAR file to provide the full information without inheritance or variables, so its become:
> {code}
> <dependencies>
>    <dependency>
>        <groupId>junit</groupId>
>        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>        <version>4.4</version>
>        <scope>test</scope>
>    </dependency>
> </dependencies>
> {code}
> Its very useful to make the artifact standalone and identifiable by any external systems.
> Thanks you.
