[jira] (MNG-4444) Unable to use "test" scope dependencies

["Carlin Scott (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=319733#comment-319733 ] 

Carlin Scott commented on MNG-4444:
-----------------------------------

According to Maven documentation:
{quote}
*test*
This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the +test compilation+ and execution phases.
{quote}
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope

So if my plugin is only needed for test compilation, shouldn't I use the test scope?
