War files & dependency chains
Okay, here's my problem. I've browsed through the mailing list archives
but somehow haven't been able to figure out a solution.
I use a lot of Jakarta and Apache code building web applications. A
number of the packages I depend upon, such as Struts and Torque, have
large lists of dependencies of their own. Do I have to manually add all
of those dependencies (and so on, and so on) to the dependencies list of
my project.xml file to be able to get them added to my warfile?
I know that this sort of thing is a classic programming problem, but
isn't this the sort of thing that Maven is designed to solve? All of the
dependencies I use have poms available that
specify what packages they themselves depend upon - it doesn't seem like
it should be that great of a leap to somehow include them in the war!
Thanks for your help,
Kris

Thanks. I'd be happy to test, evaulate and contribute whatever bugfixes
I can to this effort if you'd be so kind as to point me in the right
direction!

Every problem has an elegant solution.
If you cannot conceive of an elegant solution,
you have not yet correctly understood the problem.

Its called transitive dependencies, and its coming "Real Soon Now"
(TM). We actually have it working in some pre-alpha code.
Part of the issue is that some projects, such as Struts, don't define
what their dependencies are , so we have a big job to start populating
this and are working with other projects to do so.
