[jira] [Commented] (MSHARED-47) maven-dependency-analyzer finds too many used dependencies

["Anders Hammar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-47?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15075051#comment-15075051 ] 

Anders Hammar commented on MSHARED-47:
--------------------------------------

If someone looks into this, I found a unit test for this already in code: DefaultProjectDependencyAnalyzerTest.testJarWithXmlTransitiveDependency. Enable it (remove uncommented checks) if fix is implemented.

> I'll just quote the post from our internal mailing list:
> "I don't like that plugin - it has reported dozens of missing dependencies that were unnecessary for me, so I stopped using it. The most common example is when you have a dependency on a project that has a dependency on Xerces, Xalan or some other XML project and your project has java.xml.* imports, which you're resolving from the JDK, it gives a higher priority to external dependencies, even if another project introduces them, than it does to JDK libraries."
> I've got a (possible) patch coming up in a few...
