[jira] Commented: (MWAR-111) Transitive dependencies of optional dependencies are included in WEB-INF/lib

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-111?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=150959#action_150959 ] 

Antoni Reus commented on MWAR-111:
----------------------------------

Same problem here. As a workaround, you can put de de transitive dependencies in the exclusions list

>                 Key: MWAR-111
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-111
>             Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.2
>         Environment: Maven 2.0.7, JDK 1.6.0_01-b06, JavaEE 5
>            Reporter: Chris Lance

> I have an EAR project (TestEAR) which contains two modules:
> 1. A JAR module (TestJAR) which has one dependency: commons-lang 2.3
> 2. A WAR module (TestWAR) which uses [these instructions|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html] to declare a dependency on TestJAR so that TestJAR is included in TestWAR's manifest classpath, but not copied into WEB-INF/lib (i.e. declares the dependency optional).
> This works fine for TestJAR itself, but its transitive dependency (commons-lang 2.3) is still copied into WEB-INF/lib. I don't believe this is the correct behavior since all dependencies of a JAR packaged in the EAR must also be packaged in the EAR. So, all a WAR should have to do is put the transitive dependencies in its manifest classpath to inherit them. Basically: in a WAR, transitive dependencies of "optional" dependencies should inherit the "optional" flag.
> I have included a simple test project as an example. Unzip, cd TestProject, and mvn install. Look in TestEAR's target dir and you will see that commons-lang is included in the EAR. Then look in TestWAR's target dir and you will see that commons-lang is also included in both the manifest classpath and the WEB-INF/lib dir.
