Brian Fox closed MDEP-150. -------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 2.1 Patch applied thanks. An IT for this would be great. > Indeterministic artifact ordering can cause bogus warnings > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDEP-150 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-150 > Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: analyze > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann > Assignee: Brian Fox > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: deterministic-artifact-ordering.patch > > > Once MNG-1412 gets released, it will be nice to have the dependency analyzer > respect ordering, too. > As some motivation, consider a project P with the following dependency tree: > {noformat} > Project P > +- Dep A > +- Dep B > {noformat} > Further assume that both dependencies a and B contain the same class X (for > whatever reason, say backward-compat). Project P directly uses this class X > (hence Dep A being a dependency of P). > Currenlty, the ordering of artifacts is ignored by the analyzer such that the > {{artifactClassMap}} might list Dep B before Dep A. This in turn will make > {{findArtifactForClassName()}} return Dep B as the source artifact for class > X which results in the bogus warning "Used undeclared dependency Dep B" > because Dep A should have been considered instead as it is first on the class > path. -- 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
