[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (MEAR-143) Plugin does not respect transitive dependency scopes properly

------------------------------------------------------------

I was under the impression that if I "overrode" the scope the overridden scope would be honored?

Note that the dependencyManagement section initially defines mear-143-leaf's scope to be "test".  But the actual dependency information in mear-143-middle overrides the scope to be runtime.  Shouldn't the scope of the ear file's transitive mear-143-leaf dependency therefore be runtime?  No?

> The [Introduction to the Dependency Mechanism page|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope] has a handy table for deciding what to do with transitive dependencies and various scopes.  The Maven ear plugin does not honor it in all cases.
> Suppose I have a {{.jar}} file.  Its name is {{b.jar}}.  It declares a {{runtime}} dependency on {{a.jar}}.
> Suppose now I have an {{.ear}} project.  It declares a {{compile}} scope dependency on {{b.jar}}.
> By the rules of the chart, {{a.jar}} should end up being a {{runtime}} dependency (transitively) of the {{.ear}}, and should be included in the {{lib}} directory.  It is not.
