Hello!
I'd like to be able to add extra metadata to dependencies in a POM file.
Specifically:
1. I'd like to be able to specify whether a dependency goes on the
class or module path rather than have Maven decide for me.
2. I'd like to be able to specify that a dependency _doesn't_ go on
either path (possibly because it's going to be added manually
elsewhere during deployment as an OSGi bundle, or as part of a
dynamically created module layer, or something similar).
Ideally, the second point would be handled properly by IDEs such that
clicking "Run" wouldn't result in artifacts being added to the
classpath/modulepath of the program the IDE runs.
I remember reading (possibly over a year ago now) that there might be
some possibility of an extension that allows for adding extra
information to a <dependency> element, but I'm now unable to find any
evidence this existed.
Is there some way to do this today? If not... Will there be some way in
Maven 4.0.0+?
