> "Provided" scope transitive dependencies required + exclude dependencies for

> Why are provided scope dependencies not transitive?
> I have several examples in my project where I need to declare a dependency as
> on the compilation classpath but not on the runtime classpath and I need it
> to be transitive. I don't want the dependency to be packaged up in my
> deployment artifact but my entire multi-project hierarchy relies on the
> dependency.
> At the moment, I have to workaround the problem, mostly by declaring
> duplicate provided scope dependencies in multiple projects.
> If there's a well-known answer to this query then apologies, could it be
> placed in the "Introduction to Dependency Mechanism" documentation.
> I would also be able to model my dependency structure more accurately if I
> could <exclude/> a dependency from the runtime classpath only and keep it in
> the compile classpath.
> E.g.
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>SalesStation</groupId>
> <artifactId>cds_ss_shared</artifactId>
> <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
> <exclusions>
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>SalesStation</groupId>
> <artifactId>ss_base_shared</artifactId>
> <!-- I want to be able to do this: -->
> <scope>runtime</scope> <!-- Exclude from runtime
> classpath only, not compile classpath -->
> </exclusion>
> </exclusions>
> </dependency>
> </dependencies>
