Hi Ron, Did you read the documentation for writing descriptors for the assembly plugin?
For instance, it has this bit: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html#class_dependencySet with the parameter: |useTransitiveDependencies| Determines whether transitive dependencies will be included in the processing of the current dependency set. If true, includes/excludes/useTransitiveFiltering will apply to transitive dependency artifacts in addition to the main project dependency artifacts. If false, useTransitiveFiltering is meaningless, and includes/excludes only affect the immediate dependencies of the project. By default, this value is true. (Since 2.2) The default value is |true|. maybe setting this to false would work for you? -Marshall On 6/30/2010 10:59 AM, Ron Wheeler wrote: > I am still struggling with this little task. > > I am trying to get a tar that contains a bunch of jars that were > created using the assembly plug-in as "jar-with-dependency". > > How can this be done? > Using the assembly plug-in with dependencyset gets the jars that I > want but also adds all of the jars that are already in the > jar-with-dependency jars. > > I can exclude the transitive dependencies in the pom but that creates > a maintenance headache since I will have 1 pom that sets them as > dependencies to create the jar-with-dependencies and another that has > 60+ exclusion to stop them. > > Is there another way to specify artifacts from Nexus other than > dependencySet? > > Thanks for everyone's help and patience. > > Ron > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > >
