Nadav Wexler created MNG-5978:
---------------------------------
Summary: test libraries should declare expected scope in their pom
Key: MNG-5978
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5978
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Dependencies
Reporter: Nadav Wexler
when using test libraries and forgetting to include the expected
<scope>test</scope> this could have your jars and wars inflated and could also
create some problems in your environment.
I suggest to include the expected scope in your pom, and then when depending on
that library, checking against the actual pom.
if those do not match then a warning should be triggered.
also this should be recursive - the check should not emit a warning if the
using library is also a test library.
I'd love to hear your comments on this Wish!
