-------------------------------------------------
Moved issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-1211
> Source-only dependencies are not detected
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-846
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-846
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: analyze
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Major
>
> If a class in the `src/main/java` part module A has a source-only dependency
> on a class in module B, the dependency dependency of A to B is not detected.
> This can lead to build failures if any class in the `src/main/test` part of
> module A also has dependencies on module B as the analyzer claims that the
> dependency of module B should be moved to the `test` scope. Doing so -
> however - then breaks the build.
> One such source-only dependency would be the import of a compile-time
> constant (e.g. static final String = "XXX") from a class in module B. Such
> constants are inlined into the class file produced for the class of module A.
> Thus, the compile-time dependency on module B cannot be determined by
> inspecting the class file using ASM.
