Removing dependency elements using profiles

[Reik Schatz <re...@bwin.org>]

Hi, I have the following scenario. I have a WAR type project which uses the
WAR overlay feature. The WAR overlay is added as dependency as described 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html here . Now I
have the problem, that when building the WAR artefact for production, I
don't want this dependency to be included in the final WAR. How can I tell
Maven to exclude the dependency element for the overlay? The answer must be
using profiles but as far as I can see it, you can only add additional
dependencies using profiles but not exclude them.

You can't remove dependencies via profiles, but you can adjust the
scope (eg to provided) which has the effect of removing it.
