Hi all,
For the maven-dependency-checker plugin (more details bellow or at
https://github.com/jboss/maven-dependency-checker ) we have 3 major
features:
1. Detect unsupported dependency versions.
2. Detect api dependencies that should be relocated to corresponding
jboss-spec artifacts
3. Provide an excludes configuration to tell the plugin to ignore
things that the user is intentionally not using a supported version
of - especially for cases where there is no supported version
For feature #1 I basically check if the GAV version has the
-redhat-N prefix but this is not working for all cases since there
are many libraries that is supported and it's not rebuilt by Red
Hat. One example is the Spring Sports Club in WFK.
I would like suggestions how can this plugin check if GAV is a
supported version. We can start thinking about having a properties
file with this information, but the management cost of that seems
too high. Maybe we can find an alternative way.
I'm opened to suggestion.
Thank you

Hi all,
Today, I pushed a new version of the maven-dependency-checker plugin
with the following changes:
1 - The relocated dependencies is checked on groupId and artifactId
of the declared dependency. So it's now possible to detect uses of
example: org.glassfish.main:javax.ejb and propose the right relocate
dependency
2 - Pete gave an excelent suggestion to check if a dependency has a
BOM for it. So it uses the JBoss Stacks project (http://www.jboss.org/jdf/stack/stacks/)
to discover all BOMs and them it looks for matches on the managed
BOM dependencies and project dependencies.
3 - The Readme instructions was updated with instructions on how to
use the plugin on command line without needing to add it on the
project pom.xml.
I believe that it's now ready to start using it.
Thank you.

I've
started working with rbenevides on the Maven plugin we discussed
yesterday. He's jumping into coding the first version, but I
wanted to reflect the requirements we discussed on IRC so we can
get feedback.
Basically, it does three things:
1. Detect unsupported dependency versions.
2. Detect api dependencies that should be relocated to
corresponding jboss-spec artifacts
3. Provide an excludes configuration to tell the plugin to
ignore things that the user is intentionally not using a

For #1, it's not clear whether we need to be verifying that the
dependencies used are from the same product release. If so, this
will be a fair bit more complicated, as we'll need to download a
product definition in terms of artifacts.
Additionally, we would probably want to provide a flag to switch
between WARN vs FAIL modes.
For relocations, we're currently thinking of loading the list
either from a maven artifact (type == properties, perhaps), or
else from some Git repository.
This is a fairly lightweight sketch, but are there any
questions/concerns so far?
