Hey Andrea
Did not mean to cause strife! I am used to all the jars being in the dependency
management section; helps communicate with others and prevent
incompatibilities.
I was not aware of any exceptions for plugins; but really we have only ever had
version clashes a couple of times. So I don't really mind either way.
I think we are both reacting to different things:
- I wanted to quickly check we were not getting duplicate functionality (thanks
for the email - looks like we are not)
- you wanted to make sure there is not some rule requiring discussion or
something when adding a dependency?
The dev guide is here:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/building/maven/pom.html
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/procedures/add.html
I am not sure those two pages are even consistent.
So yeah; for a plugin that nobody else depends on I think discussion would be
over kill; we want module maintainers to stay focused and productive.
But if you could update the dependencyManagement section it would help stave
off version hell. Which is one of the lower forms of hell reserved for
segmentation fault.
