will be omitted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4746
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4746
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Nico Werlein
Despite the fact that the whole Maven literature (I'm aware of, of course ;-))
* the official web site
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope)
* the official online book 'Maven: The Complete Reference'
(http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/pom-relationships-sect-transitive.html)
* the book 'Maven: The Definitive Guide' ('Transitive dependencies and scope',
Chapter 9, Page 164)
states that a provided scoped transitive dependency of a provided scoped direct
dependency will become a provided dependency, Maven 2 just omitts this provided
scoped transitive dependency.
