Came up in a maven plugin discussion today the possiblity of using a
projects 'provided' scope artifacts as a lib entry somthing like:
<lib>provided:exclude:[pattern or none]</lib>
The idea being that all 'provided' scope artifacts are 'usually'
expected to be extracted/copied to [TomEE]/lib - Except those defined by
an optional exclude pattern, or none for all.
This would not be a guarantee for ear projects I guess, but probably
workable for war based.
The win is not having to add all the 'provided' libs maven coordinates
by hand.
WDYT? Sounds useful, and or possible?
Andy.
