[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Extraneous pom.xml dependencies in jboss-common and others
I've been building my project against the snapshot release of JBoss Microcontainer
using Maven and there's 28 libraries that get pulled in, and some of them seem fairly
non-relevant to runtime.
Most of the issues are due to transitive dependencies. Here are a list of dependencies I
end up with:
| ? ant\ant\1.6.5\ant-1.6.5.jar
| ? apache-httpclient\commons-httpclient\2.0.2\commons-httpclient-2.0.2.jar
| ? apache-slide\webdavlib\2.0\webdavlib-2.0.jar
| apache-xerces\xercesImpl\2.7.1\xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar

Projects with (potential) extraneous dependencies:
jboss-commons-core: Pulls in apache-httpclient and apache-slide:webdavlib. Seems like the
"web" portion of commons belongs someplace else.
jboss-aop: Pulls in Ant, plus qdox. These are compile tools, but not needed for runtime, I
think.
org.jboss.microcontainer: compile depends on junit, probably should be "test"
I'm not sure why I end up with jboss-test, seems like the Maven2 plugin from Eclipse
might be confused.
I'm going to see if I can't fix the microcontainer dependencies, I hope nobody
gets mad.
A useful tool I've found is: http://www.jfrog.org/sites/dep-analyzer/1.0/ , but only
seems to work when built from source. The GUI maps out where the dependencies you get come
from, so you can follow the chain.
