Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-2589:
----------------------------------------
Just as to clarify why the current behavior is as is: See the [note on
dependency
scope|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope]
on the Maven site. Seems to be a "better safe than sorry" approach.
> Inherit transitive dependencies with runtime scope
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-2589
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2589
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Joerg Schaible
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Transitive dependencies of scope "compile" should be inherited with scope
> "runtime" only. This would avoid unwanted usage of 3rd party packages and
> make explicit dependencies visible. It should be possible at least to run
> Maven in such a mode.
