Tibor Digana commented on MNG-2589: ----------------------------------- I agree with MNG-2205, but this proposal is different from MNG-2205. This proposal would break many user. It is not logical to have such workaround. The most important fact is to have a fix for MNG-2205 because you should be able to change the scope for all/any inherited dependencies. The Maven is declarative and thus making NO such asumptions about this kind of scope of changes should be made unless directly specified in POM xml. > Inherit transitive dependencies with runtime scope > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2589 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2589 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Jörg Schaible > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x > > > Transitive dependencies of scope "compile" should be inherited with scope > "runtime" only. This would avoid unwanted usage of 3rd party packages and > make explicit dependencies visible. It should be possible at least to run > Maven in such a mode. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
