[wildfly-dev] Wildfly 9 BOM changes

Hi everyone, While working on upgrading Hawkular to Wildfly 9 CR2, we have noticed that the Wildfly BOM now declares provided scope for some dependencies. I guess the goal is to help users which forget to set the provided scope in their POM to end up with all the libraries in their WAR. On the other hand, if you use some libraries in your tests, then dependency resolution can be broken. For example, if you add org.jboss.resteasy::resteasy-client in test scope, your tests fail due to a missing class from commons-io, because commons-io should be resolved as a transitive dependency of org.jboss.resteasy::resteasy-jaxrs, but it's now in scope provided, instead of test. Have you considered this use case? Are there other motivations than helping Maven beginners? Best regards, Thomas
