Michael Osipov commented on MNG-5567: ------------------------------------- In your case, you can tell the Maven Dependency Plugin to download your ZIP file and extract it, not from dependency tree, you can also set scope to {{provided}}, of course. For you, ZIP files shouldn't be on the classpath, for others they should because it is standard behavior. You can always exclude such a dep, but not the other way unless this is fixed. What is your proposal to fix this issue, make is compliant with the docs of {{java(1)}}? I have abused JARs for bundle CSS/JS files just because ZIP packaging isn't available. This is overdesigned too. It does not really matter wether the HSQLDB dep exists, the matter was the missing ZIP file on cp. > Zip files are not included in classpaths at all > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5567 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5567 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 3.3.9 > Reporter: Pablo La Greca > Assignee: Michael Osipov > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.5.1 > > > when i added a dependency that was zip file > eg > {code:xml} <dependency> > <groupId>hsqldb</groupId> > <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId> > <version>1.7.3.0</version> > <scope>provided</scope> > <type>zip</type> > </dependency> > {code} > this file was not included in the test classpath and so the test would not > pass -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
