Reword description of "provided" scope
--------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3502
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3502
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation: General
Environment: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html
Reporter: Chad La Joie
Priority: Minor
The current description, in the POM reference, for the "provided" dependency
scope is a bit misleading. It currently states:
"This scope ... is only available for the test compilation and execution
phases."
When I read this I thought that meant the dependency would only be available in
the test-compile and execution phases. What I needed was a scope that was
available during the compilation, test, and execution phase. Searching the
user-list showed a couple other people were tripped up by this as well.
I'd like to recommend a change of wording then to make this more clear:
"This scope ... is available in the compilation, test compilation, and
execution phases."
