Paul Gier commented on MENFORCER-138:
-------------------------------------
Thanks, this is a good start. I'd like this to be part of the standard set of
enforcer rules, can you add it to the enforcer code as a standard rule? You
can use the git repo of the enforcer from here:
https://github.com/apache/maven-enforcer
Here are a couple of suggestions for improvement:
If the enforcer rule fails, it should print out all the dependencies that
failed instead of just failing on the first one. This way if there are
multiple failures they can all be fixed without runnning the build again.
Also, I think the excludes should specify the transitive dependency to be
ignored instead of specifying the direct dependency that brings in the
transitive dependencies. For example, this allows you to configure that a
direct dependency is allowed to have one or more specific transitive, but not
allowed to bring in any other transitive deps.

> In some projects it's necessary (or at least desirable) to have all
> dependencies specified in pom. It would be nice to have an enforcer rule
> that would ban all transitive dependencies so that the user could either add
> the transitive dependency directly to the pom (if it's actually needed), or
> exclude the dependency.
> The rule should also have an option to ignore certain transitive
> dependencies, possibly using a similar syntax to other rules.
