[jira] Commented: (MEJB-33) Add support for fewer dependencies in client-jars

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEJB-33?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=148910#action_148910 ] 

Karsten Tinnefeld commented on MEJB-33:
---------------------------------------

As a partial workaround, I found I can add server-only dependencies as optional dependencies to the ejb module. Giving them as mandatory dependencies for any ear module containing the server-ear, the dependencies (and also transitive dependencies, as mentioned above) are worked out fine.

The manifest.mf however, having the classpath added (<configuration><archive> <manifest><addClasspath>true</addClasspath> </manifest></archive></configuration>) still has all server library entries referenced which are not available in client.jar packages (Which is, at least, ugly, but should not lead to trouble except when ill-naming dependency jars or depending on different dependency jar versions in different parts of the system.)

>             Project: Maven 2.x Ejb Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Karsten Tinnefeld

> Given a scenario, where several application tiers are installed on different servers, are realized as EJB3 applications, and packaged using maven.
> When configuring an ejb module, I give dependencies to all dependency jars that are used to implement the features. However, they are currently all added as dependency to the client-jar artifacts as well, so that unused libraries are deployed on client servers.
> I'd like to mark dependencies as server-jar only, e.g. by an clientJarExclusions configuration element to the plugin, which takes a set of exclusion elements like the exclusions-element in a dependency. These dependencies should behave as compile-scope in the server- and provided-scope in the client-jars.
