Description

While generating .classpath file maven-eclipse-plugin includes all artifacts defined in project.xml regardless of it's type. As a side effect it may be observed that even JSP's *.tld files are included as Eclipse variables.It leads to project compile problems. Actually such project won't compile at all.

To avoid such behavior I propose a silly patch attached, which takes care of eclipseDependency property of artifacts. If it is set to 'false' the artifact will not be listed in .classpath.

Attached file applies to todays CVS HEAD, not for beta-10. Sorry for confusion.

A less silly patch might see whether lib.dependency.type == 'jar'

I'd much rather we used the isClasspath dependency method on Dependency.

So I'm -1 to the patch.

I know it is not so important in most cases but I wonder if one should be able to exclude some jars from eclipse project. For example: my maven project uses xdoclet for Hibernate XML files generation. It has some dependencies which I do not need in my Eclipse project. This simple example shows that there are situations (and in the future there may be more of them) when the explicite exlusion may be required. That's why I suggested eclipseDependency="false".

As I said: it isn't really importat, one can live with some unused entries on project's classpath.

<eclipse.dependency>false</eclipse.dependency> could be useful to explicitly bypass specific jar files

My specific situation is that I am building a war file to run against an app server which is running on jdk 1.3, while eclipse is running against jdk 1.4. Oracle requires two different jdbc driver jar files for jdk 1.3 and jdk 1.4. I would want to tag the oracle-jdk13 jar file as war.bundle/true and eclipse.classpath/false, while not marking the oracle-jdk14 jar so it becomes part of the classpath.

I could use the same logic to address the jdk13/jdk14 xerces issues.
