[jira] (MNG-872) Allow defined dependencies to be related to
certain types (attachments)
[ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x)
> Allow defined dependencies to be related to certain types (attachments)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-872
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-872
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Reporter: Kenney Westerhof
>
> Currently, if you have attachments on a pom, both the main artifact and the attachments have the
> same dependencies.
> Use case 1:
> packaging ejb: there's an ejb jar and an ejb-client jar. The ejb-client jar only
> contains interfaces (actually, everything except the beans themselves), but no
> business logic. The business logic in the ejb beans themselves however can have
> a dependency that is not required for the ejb-client.
> Use case 2:
> POMS producing .jar, .dll and .so suffer from the same problem. If there are dependencies
> needed for just one or two types (either the jar or both .dll and .so), depending on
> the other type also includes those dependencies.
> Proposal: add a tag <forTypes> (better name!) to <dependency>; when absent, all types
> will have this dependency; when present, only the specified types will have these dependencies.
> Implications:
> - add 'getXXClasspath( type ); methods to MavenProject and let the plugins use those.
> - dependency resolution should pick foreign dependencies parameterized by the <type>
> or get them all and just group them by type (the first is preferred since the latter will cause
> unused dependencies to be resolved).
