Add a <properties> element to the schema for dependencies a la M1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3065
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3065
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.x
Reporter: Jason Melnick
Priority: Minor
Adding the optional <properties> element to the dependency element graph will
allow more control for plug-in developers, as well as making things like WAR
packaging much more straightforward.
Why would I want to have to mess around with declaring dependencies of a WAR
project that uses it's EARs deps <optional> so that they aren't included in
WEB-INF/lib? These deps are NOT optional - it's just a workaround to get it to
work because a clear facility isn't provided.
Specifying <properties><war.bundle>true</war.bundle></properties> is much more
clear for all parties.
