[infinispan-dev] Maven.assembly.useTransitiveDependencies true or false? WAS Re: More demo

[Galder Zamarreno]

Hmmmmm, this has a domino effect. Because s3 module depends on 
infinispan-core, it now pulls all its dependencies, so we need to 
exclude them somehow, cos they're dependencies of the core module and 
hence they should reside there rather than have them in each and every 
module.

Personally, in spite of the repetition, I prefer explicit dependency 
definition rather than letting maven bring all transitive dependencies 
and then having to go and do exclusions.

More globally, I think this needs to be put the infinispan-dev list. 
During assembly, do we either:

- Leave useTransitiveDependencies as it is, which is false, and make 
modules like s3 explicitly define the 3rd party dependencies that 
jclouds depends on.

- Or set useTransitiveDependencies to true so that they're all brought 
in and exclude direct infinispan-core dependecies from getting to the 
lib directories of submodules such as s3.

For the moment, and to make my life easier getting the demo working, I'm 
using the latter option.

Thoughts?
