Plugin does not respect transitive dependency scopes properly
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEAR-143
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-143
Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.6
Reporter: Laird Nelson
The [Introduction to the Dependency Mechanism
page|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope]
has a handy table for deciding what to do with transitive dependencies and
various scopes. The Maven ear plugin does not honor it in all cases.
Suppose I have a {{.jar}} file. Its name is {{b.jar}}. It declares a
{{runtime}} dependency on {{a.jar}}.
Suppose now I have an {{.ear}} project. It declares a {{compile}} scope
dependency on {{b.jar}}.
By the rules of the chart, {{a.jar}} should end up being a {{runtime}}
dependency (transitively) of the {{.ear}}, and should be included in the
{{lib}} directory. It is not.
