maven ant tasks and the provided scope

[William Vuong]

I have something like this in my ant file and the maven ant tasks 2.0.9 and
ant 1.7 that loads a pom.xml file and creates a bunch of filesets:

 

      <target name="wtf">

            <!-- declare pom.xml -->

            <artifact:pom id="maven.project" file="pom.xml" />

 

            <!-- provided.fileset -->

            <artifact:dependencies pomRefId="maven.project"
pathId="provided.classpath" filesetId="provided.fileset"
verbose="${maven.verbosity}" useScope="provided" />

            

            <!-- make a copy of it -->

            <mkdir dir="provided-scope"/>

            <copy todir="provided-scope" flatten="true">

                  <fileset refid="provided.fileset"/>

            </copy>

      </target>

 

And my pom file does have several dependencies with the provided scope:

 

            <dependency>

                  <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>

                  <artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId>

                  <version>9.0.2.0.0</version>

                  <scope>provided</scope>

            </dependency>

 

So when I execute "ant wtf", none of the dependencies in the provided scope
gets copied into that directory.  The provided scope is supported by the
maven ant tasks, right?  Or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.
