Resolution: Won't Fix
Hi Kevin,
Scopes are not intended to do what you're trying : see
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html.
As I replied in the Users list :
http://www.nabble.com/Maven-Ant-Tasks%3A-provided-dependencies-don%27t-exclude-trans-to14121460s177.html#a14121460,
getting a simple dependency without any transitivity handling is IMHO best
done simply with Ant's get task :
{code:xml}<get
src="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/spring/2.0.7/spring-2.0.7.jar";
dest="bogus"/>{code}
> 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
> Assignee: Herve Boutemy
> 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.
