Henning Schmiedehausen created MDEP-476:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: add the ability to ignore dependencies in the analyze-*
goals
Key: MDEP-476
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-476
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: analyze
Affects Versions: 2.9
Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen
The dependency plugin is an essential tool to keep any build sane and from
going off the rails with stale and bad dependencies. However, there are the few
very odd corner cases where a dependency must be on the class path to ensure
compilation but it is not detectable from byte code.
The most prominent example for this are the
com.google.code.findbugs:annotations and com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305 jars,
which only contain annotations but very often lead to unresolvable compilation
problems with both jars present on the classpath.
The analyze goals should have facilities to
- list dependencies that should be ignored if they are declared but unused
- list dependencies that should be ignored if they are undeclared but used
- list dependencies that should be ignored in either case.
