Jakob Korherr commented on MYFACES-2623:
----------------------------------------
I could not find any problems with this configuration in any server, so I
committed the code.
If you have any further concerns, please read the maven documentation of
optional first:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html
> validation-api and el-api 2.2 should be optional dependencies with scope
> compile in myfaces-api

> Key: MYFACES-2623
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2623
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build process
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-3
> Reporter: Jakob Korherr
> Assignee: Jakob Korherr
> Fix For: 2.0.0-beta-4
>
>
> Currently those two dependencies are defined messy. First they are defined in
> myfaces-core-project as optional which makes no sence since this project is
> just the super-project for api and impl and optional dependencies are not
> transitive. So this has to be removed here.
> Furthermore the definitions of validation-api and el-api in the pom of
> myfaces-api are not completely correct. They should have a scope of compile
> (default) and should have set optional to true instead of just provided or
> provided+optional (which is by the way not allowed).
> After this issue has been resolved el-api 2.2 will be available on the whole
> myfaces-api project, however keep in mind that you are only allowed to use
> the new methods (like getValueReference()) if you checked if the el-api 2.2
> is really available first (via ExternalSpecifications). Otherwise you will
> end up in ClassNotFoundExceptions at runtime when el-api 2.2 is not available
> in the target system.
