MAVEN, json-simple 1.1.1 depends on Junit

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
On central maven repo, 
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple/1.1.1 
json-simple pom reference junit in its dependencies.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
junit deps should be in test scope

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
json-simple comes with junit wich leads to conflicts in maven projects using 
json-simple

Thanks

This is a one line fix, as the reporter has noted:

<dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
  <version>4.10</version>
  <!-- FIXME --> <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

There is no reason to include junit as a runtime dependency. It also throws off 
the Android linker. To work around, you can use exclusions in your project's 
POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
  <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.1</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <!-- maven note: must manually exclude all ancestors
            see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html -->
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
      <artifactId>hamcrest-core</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

Hi problem is the same with Ivy
Dependency must be like : 

<dependencies>
    <dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.10" force="true" conf="test->runtime(*),master(*)"/>
</dependencies>

Could you try to fix that little issue soon, perhaps in a 1.1.2 version ? It is 
annoying for your users.

For android builds using gradle:

compile group: 'com.googlecode.json-simple', name: 'json-simple', version: 
'1.1.1', transitive: false
