maven-jar-plugin and excluding transitive dependencies

47 views Asked by At

I'm creating some additional jar file in my pom.xml of a big project (basically, some model classes)

I'm using the maven-jar-plugin with this configuration:

                <execution>
                    <id>issue-models-jar</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>jar</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <archive>
                            <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
                        </archive>
                        <classifier>issue-models</classifier>
                        <includes>
                            <include>**/api/issues/models/**</include>
                        </includes>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>

This gives me nice clean jars. However, when I use these jars as dependencies in another project (after installing them in a repo), the dependencies of the 'mother' pom also appear.

I know I can exclude these depedencies, but I don't want to do that in each project where I use these jars.

Is such a thing feasable in maven? Or am I just taking the wrong approach(tm)?
