So ... Do you suggest to have it removed from XE for next releases ?
Just to know, because if in some way I remove/exclude it from my extension,
and you also remove it from XE, there are chances that it will be missing
completely for my extension :)

Sure, but in an environment with growing number of dependencies,
transitivity, and versions, you could also say that it will be hard to
handle without those little maven tricks as optional or exclusions ...
BTW, does EM take into account dependencies scope
?
Yes.

Seems a bit strange.
Maybe it's set in your xwiki.properties files.
It is, but to that same location as of xwiki.data.dir ...
How can I solve this issue ?
Not an easy one.
I can think of several things:
* upgrade the jcr version in XE (I'm trying to look at what this means
exactly)
* have a custom version of your dependency with a different version of
jcr
deployed somewhere like
http://maven.xwiki.org/externals/ (not very
nice)
Yep not nice at all ... In that case and as it would be customized, I
would
even prefer to deploy it along my own extension
artifacts.
* add support for a kind of exclusion/dependency
overrides in EM
You sure your dependency would fully work with jcr-1.0 ? What is this
dependency by the way ?
I use mstor as a concrete implementation to create a Javamail filesystem
Store. I understand it must use jcr to manage some metadata and structure
content. So there is a big risk that it will not work with jcr-1.0
anyway.
And depending on from where comes the jcr 1.0 in
XE, then it could break
on
XE side to switch to jcr 2.0.
That being said, I just checked on a local XE 3.5.1, that I could make
use
of mstor (for my needs of course) in this
instance with manually added
mstor 0.9.13, and with the jcr 1.0 that came from XE (already).
I could also try to find another provider for such Store, but as far as I
searched mstor was the easiest to use and the one most fitting my need.
I could also make it an "optional" feature, and leave to the user the
possibility to manually add that mstor library if he wants to unlock the
feature. But I don't really like that as it's not really EM philosophy.
Would be interesting to know from where comes jcr that's in XE anyway.
Ok I found it. Not sure why I don't have it when I build the WAR. It's
triggered by xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore.
So it's not "really" needed. It's used for the JCR/XPATH query
implementation in the old query plugin.
Thanks,
Jeremie
