goal to check classpath for duplicate resources/classes
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-245
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-245
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Joerg Schaible
Assignee: Brian Fox
Priority: Minor
The classpath sometimes contains unintended duplicate resources and classes
e.g.:
# an artifact is present in two different versions at the same time, because it
changed its groupId or artifactId, but no relocation POM has been provided by
the artifact's author
# an artifact has been split into several artifacts (avalon-famework =>
avalon-framework-api and avalon-framework-impl)
# an artifact has a collection of "foreign" classes (CGLIB 2.x contains stuff
from ASM 1.5)
A new goal of the dependency plugin might detect such cases. Obviously there
are cases, when this is expected (stax-api implements stuff provided also by
JDK 6) or cannot be avoided in general (even xpp3_min contains two classes from
xmlpull-api) or is even part of the spec (SPI files in META-INF/services).
