hello everyone,
one of the configuration parameters of the webstart plugin looks like the
following:
<!-- transitive dependencies filter -->
<dependencies>
<!-- Note that only groupId and artifactId must be specified
here. because of a limitation of the Include/ExcludesArtifactFilter -->
<includes>
<include>commons-logging:commons-logging</include>
<include>commons-cli:commons-cli</include>
<includes>
<!-- excludes>
<exclude></exclude>
<excludes-->
</dependencies>
what is the main intent of the includes or excludes ?
To give your fine control over the dependencies you want to package in your
webstart package. By default the plugin will take all relevant dependencies
(those taken from the POM + those resolved transitively).
At first, i added my application (the one that has to be distributed via
webstart) as a dependency: then, it seems like I have to add in the
includes
block all its dependencies..but then what happen with transitive
dependencies ?...
If you don't need to fine control your dependency list, don't use it.
any one can clarify this ?
Hope that's clear...
