this has been a known issue for some time. However, it will not be fixed in Maven 1.x.

However, it is currently being added in development versions Maven 2.x, using a more flexible mechanism that deals with the classpath correctly.

Environment: all

Description:
Feature: The POM <dependency/> element should be modified to have an well-known attribute that identifies whether a dependency applies to the build, runtime, or tests.  The site generation plugin should be modified to reflect this distinction in the generated documentation.

Rationale:  I find that I need to include various jars for testing purposes that are not a dependency for building or otherwise using the artifact generated by my maven project.   At present, there is no way to mark a "dependency" as "test-only" such that it does not show up on the "Dependencies" report in the generated site documentation.  This results in misleading documentation (in the generated site) and confounds the notion of a project test dependency with a project build or runtime dependency.

Thanks,
