Hi all,
Maven defines scopes with respect to dependencies. By default a
dependency has the scope 'compile', unless it is specified otherwise
(e.g. 'test').
Example (from pom.xml of artifactA):
<dependency>
<groupId>sample.group</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactB</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
<scope>test</test>
</dependency>
When in a bundle I have a dependency to artifactA, which defines a
test-scope dependency to artifactB (see previous snippet), then I am
generally not interested to fetch artifactB.
My question: can I with Buckminster restrict the transitive dependency
fetching to the 'compile' scope?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Limiting based on scope sounds very reasonable. It is not yet implemented though, so a bugzilla for
this would be appreciated. A couple of questions since you seem knowledgeable in this area:
- Is the scope always present?
- If it's not present, does it always default to 'compile'?
- Would a solution where you can define the scope in a maven RMAP provider be OK (default being
'compile')
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your answer. Ok, I'll write a bugzilla for this.

The scope is not always present. It is per default 'compile'.

Yes. (As of the latest maven 2 version).

This might be a good solution (although I am not a maven guru). There is
more info about the maven scopes at [1]. There are 6 scopes defined
which have each a different behavior with respect to transitive
dependency inclusion (e.g. a compile-scope dependency will be a
compile-dependency of all dependent projects while a test-scope
dependency will affect only the project defining it). Perhaps a short
reflection with a maven guru on that topic would be good (since maven is
a world in itself).
Cheers,
Patrick
