Are you exaggerating? Yeah, but just a little... I have counted at least 30+ but I already had some deps in my local repo so the exact number if probably above that. That's still about 30 jars that I don't need for xwiki (I know because I have the exact list of xwiki jars that are required for compile time, test tome and for runtime).

The rest will gradually get fixed or outdated. Yes, I recognize this and I'm helping fix the broken POM. I was really playing the devil's advocate as I'm sure we'll get lots of negative comments in this direction real soon... I don't know if a mode with transitive deps turned off would be useful or not. It's probably too early anyway to think about this and we need to give transitive deps a full run. I'm just not sure it'll be an ideal solution in all cases. > >Just venting my frustration... ;-) > > > > > Be patient, and get cracking filing fix requests :) If you check your emails you'll see I have started doing that :-) Thanks -Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
