**[Wonne Keysers](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=wonnekeysers)** commented Compile time dependencies can be excluded from the WEB-INF/lib by using the \<optional>true\</optional> flag. However, this currently does not work recursively. For example: if the war has a dependency on A.jar, but A.jar itself s dependant from B.jar, putting the A-dependency optional excludes it from the war (yet it includes it in the manifest), but B.jar is still included in the WEB-INF/lib. If the optional flag would be working recursively, I think the solution would be complete? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
