[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-3038) Add maven plugin to ensure our modules define all used dependencies

["Robert Metzger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15034351#comment-15034351 ] 

Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-3038:
---------------------------------------

I'm closing this issue because its not feasible to add all dependencies as direct dependencies.
For example: We have akka as a dependency, which depends on typesafe:config. Since we are also using some classes from that dependency, we would need to add it as a direct dependency.
This means that we have to check all transitive dependencies when we're changing the version of our direct deps.

> We are sometimes using classes from dependencies we are not immediately depending on (we get them transitively through our direct dependencies).
> There are maven plugins to ensure this doesn't happen.
