[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1403) Excluded/Banned transitive dependencies for Maven Dependency Resolver are too strict

[Juergen Zimmermann (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1403?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12619436#comment-12619436 ] 

Juergen Zimmermann commented on AS7-1403:
-----------------------------------------

As discussed in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-295 there is a problem when Arquillian tests require artifacts from a maven repo, and these artifacts are lookup up using the ShrinkWrap class MavenDependencyResolver.

Then you'll get this Maven dependency hierarchy:
* jboss-as-arquillian-container-remote:7.0.0.Final 
* jboss-as-arquillian-common:7.0.0.Final 
* shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven:1.0.0-beta-2 (!)

It took me almost a week to realize that not the current ShrinkWrap version is used, but an old one. After manually extending my pom.xml with the current artifact shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven:1.0.0-beta-5 the issue was gone.

To find this incompatibility is really frustrating. Is there no chance to provide the up-to-date version of shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven?

> 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.
