jh commented on MNG-1630: ------------------------- I'm working with maven version 2.0.7 and am experiencing the same problem as mentioned here. I've defined a dependency as optional in the management part of a parent pom but the child pom doesn't state that dependency as optional. I can verify this with eg the help:effective-pom which shows a difference in the dependencies and dependencyManagement elements (only the latter contains the optional tag). Is this bug popping up again?? > Optional tag in dependencyManagement is not inherited in the children projects > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-1630 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1630 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Carlos Sanchez > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0.1 > > Attachments: it1020.patch, MNG-1630-maven-artifact.patch, > MNG-1630-maven-project.patch > > > If I put this in the parent pom, all the subprojects should inherit the > optional tag (and be able to override it) > <dependencyManagement> > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>cglib</groupId> > <artifactId>cglib</artifactId> > <version>2.1_2</version> > <optional>true</optional> > </dependency> > </dependencies> > </dependencyManagement> > it test attached -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
