Hi all.
As a side-note: the current "provided" scope is not transitive, which
IMHO doesn't make much sense. After all, if your environment magically
provides dependency A that assures you that it also provides dependency
B, then this should effectively mean that both A and B are provided. Or
am I missing something?
Having a scope that's like "provided" but is transitive would be a
usefully addition to the current list of scopes.
FWIW, a plugin I wrote to bundle up Java benchmarks (as JARs within
JARs) would benefit from this. See
<http://www.plugins.scalabench.org/modules/dacapo-benchmark-maven-plugin/usage.html#How_to_Declare_the_Benchmarks_Dependencies>
for a description of how "provided" is currently used.
Best wishes,
Andreas
