[jira] Updated: (MNG-4761) Plugin-level dependency scope causes
some plugin classpaths to be incorrect
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4761?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
John Casey updated MNG-4761:
----------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.0-beta-2
> Plugin-level dependency scope causes some plugin classpaths to be incorrect
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4761
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4761
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Plugins and Lifecycle

> Plugin-level dependencies should use RUNTIME scope at all times. Using any other scope may alter the weighting given to the subgraph-choice algorithm used in transitive dependency resolution.
> Plugin-level dependencies use compile scope by default. When transitive resolution takes place, compile scope takes precedence over runtime scope, causing the transitive dependency sub-graph of the plugin-level dependency to be activated over those of the plugin itself.
> This happens even when the plugin's transitive dep is NEARER to the top level than the one brought in by that plugin-level dependency itself.
> The result is that when a dep that's farther away is chosen over a nearer one, it can then be disabled by Maven choosing to disable its parent dep (the one that brought it in) in another part of the transitive resolution process.
> This is a very subtle case where Maven is doing the wrong thing. The attached test case should make it clearer.
