Hello,
I have a JAR and a WAR.
My JAR file is used to render PDF files using the Flying Saucer
Project. When used in this way, flying saucer requires iText 2.0.8 to be
included.
So the POM file for my JAR has 2 dependencies:
org.xhtmlrenderer : core-renderer : R8pre2 : jar : compile
com.lowagie : itext : 2.0.8 : jar : compile
My WAR file then includes this JAR and makes calls to it to have PDF's generated. However, the WAR file itself also includes some legacy functionality to generate some other PDF's. However, it
requires iText 2.1.3. So my WAR has 2 dependencies:
jarA : jarA : 1.0 : jar : compile
com.lowagie : itext : 2.1.3 : jar : compile
The problem then, is that when I try and make calls from my WAR to
methods in that JAR, it seems that it uses iText 2.1.3 instead of 2.0.8, so it
breaks because some methods are missing.
Everything works as it should when I just use the JAR itself, through
JUnit.
I cannot upgrade Flying Saucer to use 2.1.3 and it would take a great deal of work to downgrade the WAR to use 2.0.8. My question then, is there a way for me to specify in Maven that the iText 2.0.8
be somehow packaged up with the JAR so that all methods in it use 2.0.8, but anything in the war would use 2.1.3?
Thanks,
Tim O.
