Transitive dependency lost when included another dependency
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-202
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-202
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: resolve
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: maven 2.0.10 (tried with dependency plugin 2.0 and 2.1)
Reporter: Michal Ropka
Assignee: Brian Fox
Attachments: test.zip
*We added a new dependency (_velocity-tools_) and the project didn't work any
more. We've found that one transitive library (_antlr_ used by _struts_ and
_hibernate_) is missing in the installed WAR file.*
It looks like the _antlr_ transitive dependency is ignored from _hibernate_
dependencies by plugin choosing _struts-1.2.9_ one while eventually _struts_ is
replaced by _1.2.7_ version which does not have _antlr_ dependency.
There is a workaround to the problem - dependencies might be rearranged to
include the missing library back (e.g. by moving _struts-1.2.7_ from _parent_
to _ui_ but only before _velocity-tools_ - see the test case) however the
problem is that the plugin behavior is unpredictable.
*Test case:*
There are root, parent, common, model, ui POM files. The purpose is to create
dependency tree deep enough (_ui_ depends on _model_ and inherits from
_parent_, _model_ depends on _common_). They include external dependencies
(_velocity-tools_, _struts_, _hibernate_).
* WAR artifact created from the root or _ui_ POM does not contain _antlr_ in
WEB-INF/lib which is required by _hibernate_
* after removing _velocity-tools_ from ui/pom.xml _antlr_ library is included
properly
