Yes, I interpret that table to mean the same thing that you said.
Sorry, I can see how my earlier response would be irrelevant.
I wonder whether it's possible your -war and -core POM's have the
javax.servlet <dependency/> declaration duplicated, such that it
appears somewhere else in your <dependencies/> with non-provided
<scope/>? That's just another guess, and failing that, I think I'm
out of guesses. Sorry.
Good luck,

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm not understanding the documentation
correctly, but in the table of the "Dependency Scope" section of
this page:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-
dependency-mechanism.html
it seems to say that a provided dependency is transitively
provided, so doesn't that mean it still should not be copied to WEB-
INF\lib?

Subject: Re: provided dependencies
my guess would be that both modules depend transitively on the
javax.servlet in the runtime scope.
but, since guessing is not likely to be very helpful, may I recommend
the maven-dependency-plugin, which can give you a report that may
help you to locate the actual dependency chain that ends up bringing
those in. Then, you should decide whether to use <exclusions/>
elements in the <dependency/> declarations of those things that ended
up bringing it in.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
I have two maven modules, policy-core and policy-webapp. policy-
webapp depends on policy-core, and they are packaged as a war and
jar respectively. Both modules have the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
When I package policy-webapp, I get both the following JARs in WEB-
INF\lib
servlet-api-2.5-6.0.1.jar
servlet-api-2.3.jar
Obviously I don't want any servlet-api JARs in WEB-INF\lib becuase
they should be provided by the container - this is why I set the
scope to 'provided'.
Both policy-core and policy-webapp extend the same POM, but their
parent POM doesn't mention servlet-api, so I don't think this is
particularly relevant.
Any idea why these JARs are being copied to WEB-INF\lib and how I
can prevent this?
Thanks in Advance,
DM
