[m2] Excluding dependencies from the runtime classpath

["J. Michael McGarr" <jm...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have used Maven 1 in my free time and have been trying to migrate my 
client to the product as well. I have just started using M2 and like what I 
see but I have a few questions, the first of which is, how do I tell M2 to 
include a dependency only in the compile scope and not the runtime scope.

The details of the problem are I am building a war, but I do not want 
dependecies like the Servlet API to be bundled in the jar, since the 
application server will already provide this. Any suggestions? I am assuming 
that I have missed something.

Thanks,
Mike
