What this is is another dependency with a more inclusive scope down the chain.
While the behaviour is correct, it is not intuitive. Anyone have a preferred option? 1) Log a warning when a higher priority scope is found in the chain 2) scope in end POM always wins 3) same as 2, but only when it is "provided" 4) keep it as is (where you can use <dependencyManagement /> to force the appropriate scope) I'm in favour of doing (1) regardless. If that isn't obvious enough we can do (2), but my preference remains to be (4). - Brett Stephane Nicoll wrote: >On 7/23/05, solo turn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>somehow i do not understand that, i tried: >> >> <dependencies> >> <dependency> >> ... >> <scope>provided</scope> >> </dependency> >> >>and it still includes it into the war. is this a bug in the war >>plugin? > > >I don't think so.
