> I'm having a strange issue where a module with three dependencies has an
> unexpected transitive dependency on JUnit with compile scope (where test
> scope would be expected).
> I've isolated this problem in a small example project which is attached.
> My module2 depends on
> 1) module1
> 2) test-deps
> 3) module1:test-jar
> module1 depends on Apache OpenJPA which has a compile scope transitive
> dependency on JUnit (not really needed, I think, but that's the way it was
> released). module1 also has a test scope dependency on JUnit for its own
> JUnit tests.
> As I don't want a compile scope dependency on JUnit in my module2, I use an
> <exclude> for JUnit.
> test-deps has POM packaging, it simply collects the test dependencies I
> normally need in all modules of my project. test-deps uses the default
> compile scope for each dependency (junit and spring-test in this example).
> module2 has a test scope dependency on test-deps, so by Maven transitive
> scope resolution, the junit dependency is propagated to module2 with test
> scope.
> Since some of the module2 JUnit tests are derived from base classes in module
> 1, module2 depends on the test-jar of module1 with scope test.
> Thus, none of the three dependencies should cause a compile scope dependency
> on junit, but the combination of the three seems to have some fatal effect.
> This looks like a bug in Maven's dependency scope resolution.
> To reproduce, unpack the attachment, cd to junit-transitive, run mvn -X clean
> install and look at the compile classpath for module2 in the log.
