Well it really depends whether the Antlr plugin is intended to ever support Antlr 3 or 4. I made the distinction that as of Antlr 2 there is just a single jar containing both the buildtime and runtime classes. Starting in 3 they split those up into 2 jars.

So if the plugin is only ever going to target Antlr 2, I think it makes sense that it "export" the Antlr jar.

And as for Groovy, I may be wrong not being a Groovy developer, but isnt that considered more of a "provided dependency"? Something the runtime environment would provide?

As opposed to the antlr plugin doing that?


I didn't say that. I'm just wondering if there is a reason why none of the
plugins (Antlr, Groovy, ...) do this. If you consider this a bug, please
submit an issue.
