Transitive Dependencies to Taglet Artifacts are not resolved nor added to the classpath ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAVADOC-178 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-178 Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.3 Environment: any Reporter: Sebastian Annies Priority: Minor Attachments: build-utils-1.0.9-SNAPSHOT.jar My taglet artifact has a dependency to commons-lang. But when executing the javadoc target the javadoc process complains with a ClassNotFoundException (in my case {{StringEscapeUtils}} but that doesn't matter). Hmm - I had a look into the source and as far as I can see it the transitive dependencies are not resolved (only resolve is called and not resolveTransitively). The workaround is to specify the transitive dependencies by hand taglet definitions without {{<tagletClass>}} elements: {code:xml} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <taglets> <taglet> <tagletClass>com.coremedia.drm.javadoc.api.ExampleTaglet</tagletClass> <tagletArtifact> <groupId>com.coremedia.drm.roapserver</groupId> <artifactId>build-utils</artifactId> <version>1.0.9-SNAPSHOT</version> </tagletArtifact> </taglet> <taglet> <tagletArtifact> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </tagletArtifact> </taglet> </taglets> </configuration> </plugin> {code} To reproduce remove the second {{<taglet>}} element and include an [EMAIL PROTECTED] tag in one of your classes. -- 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
