Daniel Kulp commented on CXF-1452:
----------------------------------
Glen,
This is "working as designed". The "core" is the core code, utilities, etc...
It's also a plugin loader for dynamic frontends/databinding which the jaxb and
jaxws things fall under. It's designed to be completely plugable so we can
have an xmlbeans databinding, possibly jaxrpc frontends, etc.... The "core"
should not have a dependency on the jaxws/jaxb things which is why those
entries are not in the pom.
> Remove cyclic dependencies in wsdl2java code.

> Key: CXF-1452
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1452
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Tooling
> Reporter: Glen Mazza
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently there are two cyclic dependencies in our WSDL2Java code: between
> {cxf-tools-wsdlto-core, cxf-tools-wsdlto-databinding-jaxb} and
> {cxf-tools-wsdlto-core, cxf-tools-wsdlto-frontend-jaxws}
> Databinding needs Core's DefaultValueProvider
> Core needs databinding's tools-plugin.xml
> Frontend needs Core's WSDLToProcessor
> Core needs frontend's tools-plugin.xml
> The "Core" requirements are because Core contains WSDL2Java class. Because
> WSDL2Java needs packages outside of Core, I think it would be best to either
> place WSDL2Java in its own module, or keep it where it is but create a new
> "common" module under wsdl2 that would hold DefaultValueProvider,
> WSDLToProcessor (and perhaps a few other needed classes). If the
> latter,databinding and frontend would have this new wsdl-common as a
> dependency but not wsdl-core anymore.
> Background: I was having trouble debugging WSDL2Java in Eclipse. I imported
> just the cxf-tools-wsdlto-core project into the IDE, but running WSDL2Java in
> debug mode raised errors that it needed the frontend and databinding modules.
> After adding the following dependencies to cxf-tools-wsdlto-core:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
> <artifactId>cxf-tools-wsdlto-databinding-jaxb</artifactId>
> <version>${project.version}</version>
> <scope>runtime</scope>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
> <artifactId>cxf-tools-wsdlto-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
> <version>${project.version}</version>
> <scope>runtime</scope>
> </dependency>
> and then running mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse again from this core
> directory, wsdl2Java worked fine. *But* this introduces a cyclic dependency
> with databinding and frontend (they both have core as a dependency), so "mvn
> install" won't work in any higher-level directory of core.
