Runtime dependencies in Eclipse classpath
Why are dependencies with a scope of "runtime" added to Eclipse's .classpath
file? I thought the point of runtime is that it's not a compile-time
dependency; therefore, why the addition to the .classpath?
Perhaps someone can correct me, but my understanding of runtime scope is
that it is not included in the compile-time classpath, but is added to the
JAR or WAR upon packaging - is this an accurate statement?
Thanks.

Eclipse is not Maven, and Maven is not Eclipse - you are kind of
comparing apples to orangutans.
Eclipse makes no differentiation between compile time and run time,
but Maven is different - it's a build tool, not an IDE.
As I understand it, compile time means "what I need to compile this
thing", but runtime means "what I need to run the beast."
An example would be JDBC drivers. I don't need the Oracle JDBC driver
jar to compile my application (unless I did something really deeply
profoundly wrong) but I do need it to *run* my application.

So "runtime" seems very similar to the "compile" scope type. Could somebody
please explain the difference?
The Maven documentation seems to imply something about transitive
dependencies, but I don't understand what it's trying to say.
Thanks.

I'd assume that it's there so that you can run your app from the IDE -
that's the behavior I'd expect.
