I noticed that Configuration.copy does not really end up copying
everything. The list of dependencies is copied correctly, but other
fields (like transitive) are not passed on to the copy.
This confused me for a couple of hours today. Is this a bug or
intentional? I can make a patch for this either way (fix the bug or
add some JavaDoc so someone else will know what to expect).
Seems like a bug to me, though.
Oh yes, this is a bug. The copy operation should copy all properties
except the ones that establish the resolve. The copied configuration
should be in unresolved state without the cachedResolveReport.
We model a Configuration as an entity object. But it becomes immutable
after the resolve. If you want to resolve a configuration differently
(e.g. with a different transitive settings), you just copy and modify
the copy, and then do a resolve. Amongst other things, this should
make the build behavior better traceable.
