>             Project: Maven 2.x Ant Tasks
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: dependencies task
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.7

> Copied from a posting to the Maven users list:
> I'm trying to use the dependencies ant task to copy artifacts to a given location but I'm having trouble excluding transitive dependencies. 
> My understanding from the documentation is that I should be able to use the following XML to copy an artifact, without its transitives. But, nothing at all gets copied.
> {code:xml}
> <target name="test">
>         
>     <artifact:dependencies filesetId="copy.test.fileset" useScope="provided" verbose="true">
>         <dependency groupId="org.springframework" artifactId="spring" version="2.0.7" scope="provided"/>
>     </artifact:dependencies>
>     
>     <copy todir="bogus" verbose="true">
>         <fileset refid="copy.test.fileset" />
>         <mapper type="flatten" />
>     </copy>
>     
> </target>
> {code}
> I've tried the following combinations of the useScope and scope attributes:
> ||useScope || scope || Result||
> |provided | provided | Nothing copied|
> |provided | runtime | Nothing copied|
> |provided | compile | Nothing copied|
> |runtime | provided | Nothing copied|
> |runtime | runtime | Dependency and transitives copied|
> |runtime | compile | Dependency and transitives copied|
> |compile | provided | Dependency and transitives copied|
> |compile | runtime | Nothing copied|
> |compile | compile | Dependency and transitives copied|
> Note that none of these configurations gives me a dependency without any transitives. I understand that I can specify exclusion elements to exclude all the transitives but it seems to me that specifying provided scope is supposed to achieve the same goal, and would be much nicer.
