[M2] How to exclude dependency from WAR's WEB-INF/lib

[Simeon Koptelov]

I'm porting my project build system from Ant to Maven 2.0 and can not find the 
right way to do it. I googled and found that I should use 
<properties><war.bundle>false</war.bundle></properties>
But it gives me parsing error (stack trace in the end of this mail). I also 
read that <scope>compile</scope> doesn't do what I want (and my opinion is 
that it's really against common sense - I want library in compile and don't 
want in package).

So can anyone please explain how to exclude dependency jar from WEB-INF/lib ?
