> 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
>     Assignee: Carlos Sanchez

> 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.
> Optional flag added: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-947
