Hi!
I'd like to know if there is any elegant way to avoid defining the
dependencies of the dependencies.
E.g. My project depends on xdoclet but xdoclet depends on commons-logging
and commons-collections, so I must include dependencies to every xdoclet jar
and both commons jars
<!-- XDoclet dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xjavadoc</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-xdoclet-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-ejb-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-web-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-jmx-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-jboss-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2b4</version>
<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<!-- Jakarta Commons Dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons</url>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3</version>
<url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons</url>
</dependency>
What I have done is save this in a separate xml file and include it in
project.xml with a standard xml include. That cleans the code a bit.
It would be easier if every jar had some kind of metadata to define
dependencies (maybe its maven project file?) ;)
Thanks in advance
