Eclipse is not Maven, and Maven is not Eclipse - you are kind of comparing apples to orangutans.
Eclipse makes no differentiation between compile time and run time, but Maven is different - it's a build tool, not an IDE. As I understand it, compile time means "what I need to compile this thing", but runtime means "what I need to run the beast." An example would be JDBC drivers. I don't need the Oracle JDBC driver jar to compile my application (unless I did something really deeply profoundly wrong) but I do need it to *run* my application.

So "runtime" seems very similar to the "compile" scope type. Could somebody please explain the difference? The Maven documentation seems to imply something about transitive dependencies, but I don't understand what it's trying to say. Thanks.
