-------------------------------------
Summary: Scope runtime test
Key: MNG-6545
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6545
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies
Reporter: Olivier Cailloux
Maven should permit to include a dependency with scope restricted to test and
runtime. Currently we have to choose between test and runtime, having both
would be better.
It would permit Maven to check that the test code does not depend (for
compilation) on those libraries. And you wouldn’t get annoyed by completion
proposals in your IDE coming from those runtime libraries.
It is also conceptually more elegant and would make the intent clear to other
contributers (“make sure your test code does not depend on this library”).
