             Summary: [Java broker] add plugins as optional dependencies in the broker pom, and make the optional bdbstore module dep scopes in line with other plugins
                 Key: QPID-4645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4645
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java Broker
            Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
            Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
             Fix For: 0.21


The broker module does not strictly depend on the broker-plugins, and so its generated pom currently doesn't mention them at all. It would be useful for users however if we drew attention to and made gathering dependency info for the plugins easier by simply adding them as optional dependencies in the broker pom.

Most of thehe broker-plugins use 'provided' scope for the broker dependencies for historical reasons relating to their previous osgification (shipping certain deps at the broker level and exporting them, plus needing to place them in a completely different location from the core broker jars). The optional bdbstore module does not, so it would be useful if it aligned with the others and is indeed would be good to ensure the optional JE dependency must be added explicitly in the user pom in addition to the conscious choice to explicitly add the bdbstore module itself in general.
