I looked through the archives and didn't find a satisfactory answer
to this question.
We have an ant build script (and no POM) that we use to build our
webapp. We have a single <artifact:dependencies> block:
<artifact:dependencies pathId="compile.classpath.maven"
filesetId="libdeps"
verbose="false">
<remoteRepository refid="km.repository"/>
<remoteRepository refid="main.repository"/>
<dependency groupId="javax.activation" artifactId="activation"
version="1.0.2" scope="runtime"/>
<dependency groupId="commons-beanutils" artifactId="commons-
beanutils-core" version="1.7.0" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="commons-digester" artifactId="commons-
digester" version="1.7" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="log4j" artifactId="log4j"
version="1.2.12" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="mysql" artifactId="mysql-connector-java"
version="3.0.16-ga" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="com.oracle" artifactId="ojdbc"
version="14" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="javax.mail" artifactId="mail"
version="1.3.2" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="javax.servlet" artifactId="jsp-api"
version="2.0" scope="provided"/>
<dependency groupId="javax.servlet" artifactId="servlet-api"
version="2.4" scope="provided"/>
<dependency groupId="struts" artifactId="struts"
version="1.2.7" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="velocity" artifactId="velocity-core"
version="1.4" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="velocity-tools" artifactId="velocity-tools-
generic" version="1.1" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="com.verisign" artifactId="verisign"
version="1.0" scope="compile"/>
</artifact:dependencies>
I want to use that block for compiling and for building the WEB-INF
directory. The problem is, I don't see how useScope can help. If I
specify one useScope for compile time, that's one thing, but it's
another when I go to copy those dependencies.
Of course I can make multiple copies of this tag and different
useScope values, or make separate ones with just the right artifacts,
but it seems to me that the scope attribute of the <dependency> tag
is useless.
What's the intent of the useScope and scope attributes when used like
this?
TIA,
