Fabian Christ updated STANBOL-934:
----------------------------------
Component/s: Build
> Clean up dependencies
> ---------------------
>
> Key: STANBOL-934
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-934
> Project: Stanbol
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Build
> 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.
