Springframework: Add Optional Flag to Implementation Specific Dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEV-108
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-108
Project: Maven Evangelism
Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies
Reporter: Stephen Duncan Jr
Many dependencies of the springframework should have the optional flag set
(<optional>true</optional>).
For spring-orm: spring-webmvc, toplink-api, jdo, ibatis (probably others)
For spring-jdbc: c3p0, commons-dbcp, xapool
For spring-hibernate: hibernate3, hibernate-annotations, hibernate2
Assumably there are many others that Spring developers would know, but these
are ones I know are optional.
The use case is here is that I want to use spring-hibernate with hibernate 2
only. Therefore of the listed optional dependencies, only hibernate 2
(net.sf.hibernate:hibernate) should be required. I currently receive the
others transitively, but they are not desired, and frequently will not be
desired. Therefore it's better to set them to be flagged as optional, instead
of forcing users to set exclusions.
