Reto Bachmann-Gmür created STANBOL-934:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Clean up dependencies
Key: STANBOL-934
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-934
Project: Stanbol
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Reto Bachmann-Gmür
An Artifact should specify as its dependencies the artifacts it depends on. It
should not specify dependencies it only indirectly depends on. It should not
omit dependencies it directly depends on unless they just because they are
present as an indirect dependency. An exception given if the direct dependency
imperatively needs the indirect dependency for its primary purpose.
Example:
- Our projects depends on classes provided by XmlParser and ImapMailer.
- ImapMailer depends on XmlParser
-> We still must define our dependecy on XmlParser as an implementation of
ImapMail could well not depend on XmlParser
- Our project depends on classes provided by ForBarCore and by FooBarUtils
- FooBarUtils is a project proving utilities around the FooBarCore classes
-> It is enough if our project depends on FooBarUtils as this project
necessarily depends on FooBarCode,
- Our projects depends on classes provided by ImapMailer.
- ImapMailer depends on XmlParser
-> We must not have a dependency on XmlParser as we only indirectly use it.
