Module Dependencies

The <dependencies> element can be used to declare this module's dependency on other JBoss module, third party packages and JDK classes.

The dependency on another JBoss module is declared as follows:

<module ...>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.jboss.as.web"/>
        ...
    </dependencies>
</module>

The dependency on JDK classes is declared as follows:

<module ...>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.api"/>
        ...
    </dependencies>
</module>
