Description
It does not make much sense since most XAR projects dependencies are declared as runtime (you don't need it when building the XAR).
Here is an example to reproduce the issue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-platform-core</artifactId> <version>7.2-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <artifactId>test</artifactId> <packaging>xar</packaging> <properties> <!-- Don't run CLIRR here since there's no Java code. --> <xwiki.clirr.skip>true</xwiki.clirr.skip> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-platform-mail-ui</artifactId> <version>7.2-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>xar</type> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.xwiki.commons</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-commons-tool-xar-plugin</artifactId> <version>7.2-SNAPSHOT</version> <configuration> <includeDependencies>true</includeDependencies> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
When building this project you get a XAR with xwiki-platform-mail-ui pages but not xwiki-platform-mail-ui dependencies pages (which are declared as runtime).
The workaround is to declare xwiki-platform-mail-ui dependency as <scope>provided</scope> which force all transitive runtime dependencies as compile dependencies and makes them taken into account.
Putting this issue as minor since anyway it does not make much sense to make transitive a dependency you include in the final XAR so scope provided should always been used.
