--------------------------------
Summary: 3.6.0 reporting Used undeclared dependency that is only
used indirectly
Key: MDEP-871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-871
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: analyze
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Joe Barnett
reproducer project:
[https://github.com/josephlbarnett/mdep-3.6.0-analyze-reproducer]
if you change the maven-dependency-plugin version to 3.5.0 in the above
project, the maven build will pass.
It appears that referencing an interface that extends another interface (and
calling a method in that interface) is pulling that extended interface in as a
used dependency? In this case the
`software.amazon.awssdk.services.kms.KmsClientBuilder` interface extends an
interface from the aws-core jar
(`software.amazon.awssdk.awscore.client.builder.AwsClientBuilder`), and the
example code calls the `.region()` method. In 3.5.0 the aws-core dependency
was not treated as used, but in 3.6.0 it is. Unclear if this is only interface
extension or classes implementing interfaces would have a similar problem?
Is this intended behavior?
