[MNG-7955] Plugins should be allowed some control over the imported packages

[jira-importer]

Guillaume Nodet opened MNG-7955 and commented

We need some simple configuration to allow plugins to indicate which packages / artifacts they need to be provided.  This could solve the problems with org.slf4j package.

I think the defaults could be the following packages:

• org.apache.maven.api,org.apache.maven.api.*
• org.slf4j
• jarkata.inject

 

See https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1336 which is related.

We could also define libraries such as {}api{}, {}slf4j{}, resolver and let the plugin list those he wants (defaults would be the one listed above if not specified).

This is also related to api versioning MNG-7979 ...

Plugins should be able to configure:

• parent-first or self-first
• hide exported packages / artifacts provided by maven
