[jira] (MASSEMBLY-529) Provide a way to exclude optional dependencies of a module from the assembly

["Christoph Henrici (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-529?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=342417#comment-342417 ] 

Christoph Henrici commented on MASSEMBLY-529:
---------------------------------------------

" I would even go as far as suggesting than optional dependencies should not get pulled in per default." 
100% agreed. From my point of view it yields the plugin even useless... optional means as i understand: a dependency which should NOT be included transitively by default, but only when explicitly included as Dependency.

> Presently optional dependencies of modules in a module set always get pulled in and there appears to be no way to exclude all optional dependencies other than explicitly excluding them one by on
