I do. I didn't ask the original question - I was answering it.
Thanks though. I'm sure the original poster got his answer.

Right. Then in that case use <scope>provided</scope>.

Yes, but I'm not as comfortable with using optional, even though
the practical packaging semantic is similar, because it implies a
real dependency that, if provided, would be used, but is not
mandatory. Something like, say, the jsp or servlet apis are
mandatory, but are compile-only because the deployment environment
will provide it.

Christian, have you tried to mark your dependency as 'optional' [1]?

I would use "provided" which implies
that the target runtime will provide this if needed.
It's not needed, but the semantic should work.
"Provided" scoped dependencies are not transitively added to
packaging lifecycles like war and ear.
Also, this is probably a maven-users question, not a
maven-developers list question.

Is there a way to bring in a library only for
compiling without making
it part of the runtime (i.e., war dependency) or using
transitive
exclusions? Java 5 has source-level annotations and
sometimes a
dependency is only for compiling and has no runtime
dependency. Is a
new scope needed for this?
