David Smiley commented on LUCENE-5217:
--------------------------------------
I have a proposal that may address the fundamental concern -- and the concern
is that modifications to our maven pom's could bring inadvertent/unintentional
transitive dependencies.
What if we check-in to source control the output of "mvn dependency:tree" -- at
least the essential part of the output. Then, as part of the nightly
Continuous-Integration build, an ant task vets that the checked-in dependency
tree matches the current output. Cool?
> disable transitive dependencies in maven config

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
>
> Our ivy configuration does this: each dependency is specified and so we know
> what will happen. Unfortunately the maven setup is not configured the same
> way.
> Instead the maven setup is configured to download the internet: and it
> excludes certain things specifically.
> This is really hard to configure and maintain: we added a
> 'validate-maven-dependencies' that tries to fail on any extra jars, but all
> it really does is run a license check after maven "runs". It wouldnt find
> unnecessary dependencies being dragged in if something else in lucene was
> using them and thus they had a license file.
> Since maven supports wildcard exclusions: MNG-3832, we can disable this
> transitive shit completely.
> We should do this, so its configuration is the exact parallel of ivy.
