Stephane Nicoll closed MWAR-251. -------------------------------- Resolution: Not A Bug Assignee: Stephane Nicoll This has nothing to do with the war plugin, please go through the maven user list for user questions! The dependency:tree of your war project is the following {noformat} [INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.1:tree (default-cli) @ WarProject --- [INFO] net.croz.vvidovic.test:WarProject:war:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT [INFO] +- org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.6.1:compile [INFO] | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile [INFO] +- net.croz.vvidovic.test:TestProject:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:test [INFO] | \- log4j:log4j:jar:1.2.15:compile (scope managed from test) [INFO] | +- javax.mail:mail:jar:1.4:compile [INFO] | | \- javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] | +- javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] | +- com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar:1.2.1:compile [INFO] | \- com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1:compile [INFO] \- junit:junit:jar:4.8.1:test {noformat} I strongly suggest you *NOT* to use scope in your dependencies management. You are the culprit here. In your parent project you're saying explicitly that log4j has a "compile" scope. It's perfectly normal that the war plugin bundles this dependency since you are overriding the scope from the transitive dependencies > parent project dependencyManagement for test submodule causes adding > unnecessary libraries to war > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-251 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-251 > Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1-beta-1 > Reporter: Vedran Vidović > Assignee: Stephane Nicoll > Attachments: ParentProject.zip > > > Unnecessary libraries are added in a war when we define transitive test > dependencies of submodule used in test scope of war project: > - create a parent project with a war submodule and a jar submodule (in > attachment: ParentProject, WarProject, TestProject) > - use depencencyManagement in parent pom.xml for setting versions of > dependencies > - add a dependency to jar submodule (which is declared in parent pom.xml in > dependencyManagement) > - add jar submodule as a dependency to war submodule in test scope > - call "mvn clean package" on parent project > --> dependencies of jar submodule will be copied to war's WEB-INF/lib > directory (IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN) > - if we don't add dependency for jar submodule to dependencyManagement in > parent pom.xml problem doesn't appear > See attached zip of mvn project with two submodules. -- 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
