Provided scope doesn't filter out transitive dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: MANTTASKS-102
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-102
Project: Maven 2.x Ant Tasks
Issue Type: Bug
Components: dependencies task
Affects Versions: 2.0.7
Reporter: Kevin Stembridge
Priority: Minor
Copied from a posting to the Maven users list:
I'm trying to use the dependencies ant task to copy artifacts to a given
location but I'm having trouble excluding transitive dependencies.
My understanding from the documentation is that I should be able to use the
following XML to copy an artifact, without its transitives. But, nothing at all
gets copied.
{code:xml}
<target name="test">
<artifact:dependencies filesetId="copy.test.fileset" useScope="provided"
verbose="true">
<dependency groupId="org.springframework" artifactId="spring"
version="2.0.7" scope="provided"/>
</artifact:dependencies>
<copy todir="bogus" verbose="true">
<fileset refid="copy.test.fileset" />
<mapper type="flatten" />
</copy>
</target>
{code}
I've tried the following combinations of the useScope and scope attributes:
||useScope || scope || Result||
|provided | provided | Nothing copied|
|provided | runtime | Nothing copied|
|provided | compile | Nothing copied|
|runtime | provided | Nothing copied|
|runtime | runtime | Dependency and transitives copied|
|runtime | compile | Dependency and transitives copied|
|compile | provided | Dependency and transitives copied|
|compile | runtime | Nothing copied|
|compile | compile | Dependency and transitives copied|
Note that none of these configurations gives me a dependency without any
transitives. I understand that I can specify exclusion elements to exclude all
the transitives but it seems to me that specifying provided scope is supposed
to achieve the same goal, and would be much nicer.
