Maven/Ivy: Identical artifact with different name in dependency
- by ThiamTeck
Currently I am using Ivy for dependency management. And quite often I come across problem of getting identical jar files with different name due to transitive dependency.
Example:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mail</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>
I am thinking of trying out Maven as well.
Any best practice to eliminate these identical artifact in either Ivy or Maven?
