dependency management dsl issues - 1.2M3

[Andy Olliver-3]

Hi

I am attempting to use the new dependency management features in 1.2 - they seem like a great idea.

I am finding 2 problems that I have not been able to solve in a way I am happy with. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

1. transitive dependencies

Dependencies described in BuildConfig.groovy: the dependencies themselves are resolved correctly, but no transitive dependencies are picked up. My current solution is to define all required dependencies, but this is a lot of typing and will be fragile over time.

2. snapshot dependencies

New updates to snapshots jars within my local maven repository are not being picked up by Ivy. My current solution is to delete items in the ivy cache. I think this is an IVY issue - IVY-93B.

For transitive resolves to work you have to resolve against a public
repo. If you resolve against a local repo (like grailsHome()) then its
not transitive since the ivy/maven metadata doesn't exist

Hmm the new "useOrigin true" setting might help with this, but I don't
know tbh. The issue you refer to doesn't exist. I found this:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-501

But it has been resolved already. There is also this one:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-940

You may want to raise a Grails JIRA with steps to reproduce and I'll
see what we can do
