[jira] Created: (MNG-1218) Properties to deactivate the transitive mode of a dependency
Properties to deactivate the transitive mode of a dependency
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1218
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1218
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Versions: 2.0-beta-3
Environment: windows
Reporter: Alexandre Vivien
Fix For: 2.0
Somes dependencies in the central repository of Maven 2 cause some troubles due to the transitive mode. In fact, there are bad dependencies referred in their <dependency>.pom in the repository. By bad dependencies, you should understand dependencies that don't exist in the central repository, so the m2 build stop, or dependencies that don't really needed (like httpunit, etc ...) which polluate the WAR.
So, it must be clever to add a dependency property to deactivate the transitive mode, like
<dependency>
...
<transitive>false</transitive>
</dependency>
Thanks,
Alexandre Vivien

[jira] Closed: (MNG-1218) Properties to deactivate the transitive mode of a dependency
Posted by "Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>.
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1218?page=all ]
Brett Porter closed MNG-1218:
-----------------------------
Assign To: Brett Porter
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version: (was: 2.0)
there are different avenues here, but we won't be adding a general disablement for maven 2.0.
1) add <exclusions> to your dependencies to block the unwanted dependencies
2) file issues under "Maven Evangelism" for correcting the metadata of the dependencies to either remove or make optional the dependencies
It will not take long to get all the data in good shape if everyone contributes in this way.
