-------------------------------------
This is exactly how dependencyManagement works!
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependency_Management
> Plugin does not respect transitive dependency scopes properly

> Key: MEAR-143
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-143
> Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.6
> Reporter: Laird Nelson
> Attachments: mear-143.zip

> The [Introduction to the Dependency Mechanism
> page|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope]
> has a handy table for deciding what to do with transitive dependencies and
> various scopes. The Maven ear plugin does not honor it in all cases.
> Suppose I have a {{.jar}} file. Its name is {{b.jar}}. It declares a
> {{runtime}} dependency on {{a.jar}}.
> Suppose now I have an {{.ear}} project. It declares a {{compile}} scope
> dependency on {{b.jar}}.
> By the rules of the chart, {{a.jar}} should end up being a {{runtime}}
> dependency (transitively) of the {{.ear}}, and should be included in the
> {{lib}} directory. It is not.
