[jira] Closed: (MDEP-146) Dependency needed for running tests incorrectly identified as Unused Dependency

["Brian Fox (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-146?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Fox closed MDEP-146.
--------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The analysis  code uses ASM to check the actual bytecode for comparison. This means that things like constants and runtime only dependencies will show up as unused. There is a flag (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html#ignoreNonCompile) that you can set to ignore the test scope.

> In a project which uses something like mockrunner that requires some other jars to run the tests, those dependencies are listed as "Unused dependencies" even though the scope is set to "test".
