Jonathan Haber commented on MDEP-490:
-------------------------------------
[~rfscholte] I updated the [PR|https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/pull/54]
as discussed, let me know if you have any feedback or questions. I added tests
for the changes and we've been running the modified version of the plugin here
at HubSpot without issue and the new feature works as expected
> Add flag to analyze-dep-mgt goal to ignore exclusion errors
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MDEP-490
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-490
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jonathan Haber
>
> I would like to run the analyze-dep-mgt goal with failBuild=true, but it
> doesn't work because of exclusion errors. One common example is libraries
> that accidentally depend on junit at compile scope instead of test scope.
> When I encounter a library like this, I add an exclusion on junit. But I have
> junit in my dependency tree at test scope, so my build fails with a message
> like:
> {quote}
> [INFO] junit:junit:jar was excluded in DepMgt, but version 4.11 has been
> found in the dependency tree.
> {quote}
> I think the simplest fix is to add a flag to the analyze-dep-mgt goal to
> ignore exclusion errors. I just want to use the goal to check for version
> mismatches, if I want to enforce banned dependencies the
> maven-enforcer-plugin has more robust support for this. I implemented this
> change in [this|https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/pull/54] pull
> request.
