Karel Piwko commented on AS7-1403:
----------------------------------
I'll try to reword that:
ShrinkWrap Dependency Resolver (SWR) dependencies were not flattened and
shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven got to the jboss-as-parent bom as a part of ShrinkWrap
project.
If user wants to use SWR in AS7, he has to add all its dependencies manually, as its
dependencies were excluded and banned. These excluded dependencies are required for SWR to
run, but nobody mentioned that because at time of the excluded/banned list creation this
library was not used in any tests.
My point is that it would make much more sense:
1/ Use SWR as an external utility, e.g. not mentioned in jboss-as-parent at all. This way
user can simply include only shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven at place where he wants to use
it
2/ If dependency control is requirement, I can flatten shrinkwrap-resolver-impl end
explicitly enumerate all required dependecies there. Then jboss-as-parent will have to be
modified (e.g. remove excludes from shrinkwrap-resolver-impl). This way user can simply
include shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-amven at place where you wants to use it and you get the
dependency control.
Excluded/Banned transitive dependencies for Maven Dependency Resolver
are too strict

Key: AS7-1403
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1403
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build System
Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Final
Reporter: Karel Piwko
Assignee: Paul Gier
During 7.0.0.CR1 build, there was a decision to remove transitive dependencies from other
projects and exclude/ban them in jboss-as-parent.
This decision has effectively crippled usage of Maven Dependency Resolver, which
wasn't used in CR1-date based testsuite, so the change passed silently.
If user wants to use the ShrinkWrap Dependency Resolver in the AS7 testsuite, he
won't get the required transitive dependencies, such as wagon or aether, so the
resolver is unusable.
According to disscussion with Vladimir, it would help "to flatten" dependency
tree for ShrinkWrap dependency Resolver, however, that's only the part of the
solution, the restrictions posed in AS7 parent must be relaxed afterwards.
