--------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MEV-185

In the following dependency :

      <artifactId>avalon-framework</artifactId>

[jira] Commented: (MEV-185) commons-logging-1.0.4 POM dependencies not using properly

----------------------------------------

Avalon, Logkit and Log4J are not required when using commons-logging. That's why they need to be set as "optional".
And I read a post from Brett saying that if you want a dependency to be optional, you have to set <optional> tag to "true" (http://www.nabble.com/-m2-are-optional-dependencies-implemented--t396628.html#a1092315).

I figured this out when I wanted to use commons-logging in  my web app: I got all the three other JARs put in my WEB-INF/lib whereas I don't need them at all.
Setting <optional> to true would disable the transitivity for those JARs that are not required for commons-logging - and I'm pretty sure that this is what the author of this POM wanted to do but he didn't knew that <optional> had to be set to "true" to make it work.

And there is the same error for those dependencies:

------------------------------------

Why optional has to be true ?
