Christian Lenz created NETBEANS-1540:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Declare as direct dependency should be default for transitive dependencies
                 Key: NETBEANS-1540
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1540
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: projects - Maven
    Affects Versions: Next
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


Here is a dummy code of an action from a maven based NetBeans module: https://pastebin.com/bh2HmtB5. As you can see, i use FileObject. First I get the warning inside of the Java editor:

{code}
Package from transitive module dependency referenced, declare a direct dependency to fix.
{code}

When I try to build the project I got this error: 

{code}
[INFO] NBM Plugin generates manifest
[ERROR] Project uses classes from transitive module org.netbeans.api:org-openide-filesystems:jar:RELEASE82 which will not be accessible at runtime.
[INFO]     To fix the problem, add this module as direct dependency. For OSGi bundles that are supposed to be wrapped in NetBeans modules, use the useOSGiDependencies=false parameter
{code}

Yes I already know how to fix this, but if this is an error, right after I created a maven based netbeans module and I have to fix it by my own, because of the transitive dependency, why is it not default a direct dependency? I mean I have to fix it anyway? Is there a real reason, where it is possible that it stays as a transitive dependency?

Due to that this is a must have to fix it manually, to trigger the build, IMHO it is a have to, to make it default, to not getting errors, when I add this dependency.


Cheers

Chris
