I'm having some trouble with the scope Optional and the plugin maven dependency plugin.
I'm having a dependency to an artefact which scope is <scope>optional</scope>. I had to choose this scope because I can't see any other scope that was doing what I wanted : a dependency that I absolutely need during generation sources, compilation and test phases, but that I don't need (and don't want) at runtime, and I don't think I want them through transitive dependency. I thought that with maven dependency plugin (goal : copy-dependency) I could include only runtime dependencies but this one is coming too, so I tried with exclude optional, and it was throwing an error that says that he doesn't understand what scope is optional. What should I do? Perhaps I m using a wrong scope? Tomas Darbois Edifixio Grenoble - Projet ScorWare 04 76 29 89 27 [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
