------- Additional Comments From gaschbrenner@picturesafe.de  2007-10-29 06:35 -------
Environmental dependencies like 'javax.mail' or 'javax.serlvet-api' should be
set to scope 'provided'.

Example to explain what I mean:
When a feature uses the dependency 'javax.ejb-2.1' it usually will only be used
in an environment still providing this dependency (J2EE-Server). The scope of
such dependencies should be set to 'provided'.

I guess at least the dependencies 'javax.mail' and 'javax.jms' should get the
scope 'provided'. I do not know enough about the jmx-libs, but I guess they also
can be set to 'provided'.


The 'optional' tag may stay. When they stay, a comment would be nice listing the
optional features that are in need of it. That would help others to decide to
include or exclude this dependency.
Something like: Needed when the MailAppender is used.
