Hi all...
a friend of mine and I have experienced a compilation error when we
have tried to compile this project:
prj.a:
public class A extends B{}
prj.b:
public class B extends C{}
prj.c:
public class C{}
where their pom are:
prj.a -> prj.b (provided scope)
prj.b -> prj.c (provided scope)
our compilation fails because C is not included in A's compile
classpath as shown in the table [1]
My question is... why the transitive 'provided' dependencies of a
'provided' dependency are not transitive and the transitive
*'runtime'* dependencies of a 'provided' dependency is transitive?
IMHO would be better that provided dependencies are transitive and
runtime dependencies not, it isn't?
have a nice day... :-)
