Unless I completely missed something, you are still managing these manually; you've just moved dealing with it from the project file to a pre-goal.
What I was thinking of was: 1) war plugin starts to bundle, say hibernate's jar into the webapp because I specified it as a runtime library; 2) war plugin determines that hibernate, itself, has a number of runtime dependencies and bundles those (possible retreiving from repo) into the webapp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: dependencies of dependencies FYI, check out old archive messages referring to transitive dependencies. -john -----Original Message----- From: Ebersole, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 1:49 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: dependencies of dependencies Just wondering if there is a way through maven to better manage the dependencies of my project's dependencies. For example, say I have a project whose deliverable/artifact is a war and further say I have utilized the <properties><war.bundle>true</war.bundle></properties> on any number of the dependencies I have defined for that project. If those dependencies in turn have dependencies (especially of the run-time variety) it would be nice for the war plugin to pull those "extended" dependencies in along with the explicit dependencies. As it is, I instead have to manually add dependency definitions to my project for those "extended" dependencies. Is there a way to get maven to pull in those "extended" dependencies automagically during build? Just curious...
