Hi all,
we have the following problem with our ejb project (say E). This project
has many dependencies to other projects (e.g. P1, P2, ...), but these
are only used for the server-part of the ejb. That means especially, if
a client project (say C) use our ejb, they only need the client part.
They should not need all the internal dependencies of the server part.
However E is used in C, so we have
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>E</artifactId>
<type>ejb-client</type>
</dependency>
in C's pom-file. As P1, P2 are used in E, we have similarly
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>P1</artifactId>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
in E's pom-file.
The problem is that when building C with maven, all server-part
dependencies (P1, P2) are used (downloaded and put in the classpath)
also, which is unnecessary and unwanted.
Is there a way to specify the dependencies for E in a way that client
project only get what is really needed?
Any answers are appreciated! Thanks.
