Re: [Maven Dependency Plugin] Inheriting transitive dependencies whilst defining an artifact output directory

[Lewis John McGibbney]

Hi Jörg,
This is excellent and worked a treat. Thank you so much, for future reference, 
once the dependencies are declared with a , here is the correct plugin 
configuration solution

  
  
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-dependency-plugin

  
copy
prepare-package

  copy-dependencies


  provided
  ${output.directory}

  

  

Really clean and very useful.
Thank you 
Lewis

Re: [Maven Dependency Plugin] Inheriting transitive dependencies whilst defining an artifact output directory

[Jörg Schaible]

Hi,

if you use the copy goal, you don't have to add them to your list of 
dependencies. Personally I would use the 
copy-dependencies goal and copy only the ones with scope provided (i.e. you 
don't have to specify each one 
again).

Cheers,
Jörg

Re: [Maven Dependency Plugin] Inheriting transitive dependencies whilst defining an artifact output directory

[lewis john mcgibbney]

I should also say, that the workaround is to list each and every transitive
dependency in the dependency declaration with scope 'provided', such that
they are NOT on the normal runtime classpath but ARE correctly copied into
the target directory defined within the maven-dependency-plugin
configuration as shown above.
The only issue with this workaround is that it is extremely messy, bloats
my POM and is difficult to maintain as I have now introduced around 50 or
so additional dependencies which all have versions, etc.
Thanks again for any hints.
Lewis
