Stephen Connolly updated MNG-3695:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.2)
Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
> Allow dependencies' scopes to be managed without explicit versions
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3695
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3695
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0.9
> Reporter: Mark Hobson
> Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
>
>
> Currently, a dependency's version or a dependency's version and scope can be
> managed in dependency management, but a dependency's scope alone cannot be
> managed. For example, we cannot express the following:
> {noformat}<dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
> <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
> <scope>provided</scope>
> </dependency>
> </dependencies>{noformat}
> Of course it does work if we also specify a version, but there are times when
> we want to merely control the scope and not change the resolved version.
> When we try the above example we get:
> {noformat}[INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] FATAL ERROR
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] An invalid artifact was detected.
> This artifact might be in your project's POM, or it might have been included
> transitively during the resolution process.
> Here is the information we do have for this artifact:
> o GroupID: javax.mail
> o ArtifactID: mail
> o Version: <<< MISSING >>>
> o Type: jar
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Trace
> org.apache.maven.artifact.InvalidArtifactRTException: For artifact
> {javax.mail:mail:null:jar}: The version cannot be empty.
