My understanding of 'provided' is that it *does* go on the classpath for compilation, but it is not transitive (and does not get packaged). The typical use is for the Servlet API in your .war file -- you need it to compile, but you don't want it in WEB-INF/lib because the container will provide it. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
