Donald Woods commented on GERONIMO-4013:
----------------------------------------
How will the last 2 changes in the patch to car-maven-plugin work for the
custom assembly creation from cmdline and admin console? The depends need to
be included in boilerplate (which the current code in trunk does using standard
CAR depends) so exported assemblies will include them.....
What if someone includes a newer version of a server depend in our repo? Will
the transitiveDepnds correctly pull in the version that the original server was
built with, or will it pull in the newer one which might not work as expected?
> Make our dependency usage the same as maven dependency usage via
> car-maven-plugin

> 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.
