Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MSHARED-1255:
-------------------------------------------
Component/s: maven-shared-utils
> Do something about Hamcrest
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: MSHARED-1255
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-1255
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-dependency-analyzer, maven-shared-utils
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently there's a weird situation with Hamcrest deps that the dependency
> analyzer doesn't truly grok and which leads to false positive warnings like:
> [WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found:
> [WARNING] org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:jar:2.2:test
> This happens in maven-shared-utils for intance.
> This is a result of moving classes between artifacts from version 1 to 2, and
> appears when JUnit 4 is used and thus an older version of hamcrest-core gets
> pulled in unless the empty org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:jar:2.2 is added:
> https://hamcrest.org/JavaHamcrest/distributables
> Options:
> 1. special case this one
> 2. Notice when a dependency appears unused but does upgrade a version lower
> in the tree
> 3. use dependency management instead to upgrade hamcrest-core?
