Scope needs to be taken into account when providing dependencies by ant tasks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-634
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-634
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement
  Components: maven-artifact-ant  
    Versions: 2.0-alpha-3    
 Environment: any
 Reporter: Matthias Unverzagt


Best practise would be to have all depency info inside pom.xml files, none 
within build.xml files.
One of this info is the 'scope' information.
Suppose you declare a dependency that is needed for compiling but not in your 
runtime environment because it is provided by e.g. the container then you 
- would like to have the dependency on your compile classpath (e.g. to be 
independend of the container)
- would like to have a fileset representing the runtime requirement - omitting 
the provided dependency
Therefore there needs to be some kind of scope filter insided the dependencies 
task. Example:


         <artifact:dependencies pathId="dependency.compile.classpath" 
scope="compile" >
             <pom refid="maven.project"/>
             <localRepository refid="repo.localrepo"/>
         </artifact:dependencies>

         <artifact:dependencies filesetId="dependency.runtime.fileset" 
scope="runtime">
             <pom refid="maven.project"/>
             <localRepository refid="repo.localrepo"/>
         </artifact:dependencies>


CONCERNING PRIORITY: Without such a scope attribute you need to duplicate the 
scope information 
that is in the pom.xml in some sense inside the build.xml.
