Putting "provided" scope on a dependency tells Maven that you need the
dependency at compile time but do not need it in the jar since you are
going to provide the dependency on the classpath yourself.
Very common when you are building a webapp and you have a bunch of jars
already loaded into the servlet container (tomcat for example) and you
don't need it in every webapp war file as well.

I found out why my maven jar is much bigger. It looks like it's including a
dependency jar inside the SNAPSHOT jar. I installed this jar locally so I can
compile but now it's being included in the build itself. So how do I exclude
it when I do a mvn package ?

You can unpack the jar files to see what they include. This should help
you to find out what they makes fat or slimmer as the other one.

I was finally able to build my snapshot jar using maven after going thru all
the missing dependencies. But what I noticed is that the maven jar is much
larger than my ant jar. Can anybody tell me why this is so ? Should they be
different in sizes after converting the build to maven ? what should I be
looking for causes of differences ?
