Jaxen has unnecessary and unexpected dependencies (which cause problems with JDK 1.5) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEV-413 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-413 Project: Maven Evangelism Type: Bug Components: Dependencies Reporter: Jimisola Laursen The pom (http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/jaxen/jaxen/1.1-beta-9/jaxen-1.1-beta-9.pom) has dependencies on domj, jdom, xom, xerces:xercesImpl and xerces:xmlParserAPIs (see below). I can't see why any of these dependencies are necessary - especially not the dependency on xerces. A slimmed down verson of Xerces is included with JDK 1.5 and adding an addition Xerces in the classpath caused some major headache. JDK 1.5 or not, I have the exclude all the dependencies that Jaxen 1.1-beta-9 has. <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>dom4j</groupId> <artifactId>dom4j</artifactId> <version>1.6.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>jdom</groupId> <artifactId>jdom</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>xerces</groupId> <artifactId>xmlParserAPIs</artifactId> <version>2.6.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>xerces</groupId> <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId> <version>2.6.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>xom</groupId> <artifactId>xom</artifactId> <version>1.0b3</version> </dependency> </dependencies> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
