Francis created MDEP-807:
----------------------------
Summary: Exclude listed runtime scoped dependencies from
dependency analysis
Key: MDEP-807
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-807
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: analyze
Affects Versions: 3.3.0
Reporter: Francis
On our project we have a list of inhouse authored dependencies that we do
expect to have runtime scope, these are our optional modules. This list of
optional modules is subset of the entire list of inhouse authored dependencies.
We can add these optional, runtime scope expected dependencies to
{{ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies}} but that will remove these dependencies
from all the analysis. This presents a problem because we would like an
unnecessary compile scope dependencies to be flagged in chains of these
optional modules.
Alternatively we can make use of {{ignoreUnusedRuntime}} but we only expect
these optional modules to have runtime scope, where a non-optional module is
declared with a runtime dependency this should also flagged by the plugin.
Ideally it would be possible to specify which modules we do expect to have
runtime scope. Couple of implementation approaches spring to mind:
h3. Approach 1
Extend the specification of {{ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies}} to include
scope. So the syntax filter is extended from:
{{[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]}}
to:
{{[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]:[scope]}}
h3. Approach 2
Introduce a new parameter {{ignoreUnusedRuntimeDependencies}} (analogous to
{{ignoredNonTestScopedDependencies}})
