Sylwester Lachiewicz updated MSHARED-785:
-----------------------------------------
Component/s: maven-dependency-analyzer
> ConstantPoolParser false-positives
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: MSHARED-785
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-785
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-dependency-analyzer
> Affects Versions: maven-dependency-analyzer-1.11.0
> Reporter: Jonathan Haber
> Priority: Minor
>
> The ConstantPoolParser is looking for strings in the constant pool and
> treating them as references to a class which normally works fine, but it can
> create false-positives. The most common one we've run into is when there are
> classes in the default package. For example,
> [dnsjava|https://github.com/dnsjava/dnsjava] has a class in the default
> package named
> [update.java|https://github.com/dnsjava/dnsjava/blob/master/update.java]. If
> you have something like:
> {{private static final String UPDATE = "update"}}
> Then the dependency analyzer will think you're using the update class from
> dnsjava, and then the dependency plugin will then tell you to add a
> dependency on dnsjava.
> We have worked around this issue in our fork by simply telling the
> ConstantPoolParser to ignore everything in the default package:
