> The current alternatives for "scope" do not support the case where a component is dependent during compile and assembly on a partcular set of dependent components, and then bundles those components as part of its distribution jar.
> In such a case a third dependent component would like to declare that it is dependent on that component and be told that it need only download and include that one component in its classpath.  The current  "runtime" scope is purely additive, in that it allows one to define that an additional jar is required at runtime that was not needed at compile time.  The proposed new scope would state that the jar is required at compile and assemble time but not at runtime by using components.
