Make our dependency usage the same as maven dependency usage via
car-maven-plugin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-4013
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4013
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: David Jencks
Assignee: David Jencks
Fix For: 2.2
Right now the car-maven-plugin ignores maven transitive dependencies. One
reason for this is that our build is not using our plugins as the "classloader
source" of the maven dependencies that are in the plugin poms. If we
restructured our build so that the pom dependency graph matched the geronimo
classloader graph then perhaps we could let the car-maven-plugin follow
transitive dependencies, thus making our view of dependencies pretty much the
same as maven's.
This may show up many other problems, such as too many badly scoped
dependencies in all sorts of projects we use.
One first step is to try out the car-maven-plugin with a flag for following
transitive dependencies. As long as it is false we ought to get pretty much
the previous behavior.
A first use could be for the new gshell plugins so they don't have to restate
all the transitive dependencies. This may show up scope problems as well.
