[jira] Created: (MNG-3502) Reword description of "provided" scope
Reword description of "provided" scope
--------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3502
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3502
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation: General
Environment: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html
Reporter: Chad La Joie
Priority: Minor
The current description, in the POM reference, for the "provided" dependency scope is a bit misleading. It currently states:
"This scope ... is only available for the test compilation and execution phases."
When I read this I thought that meant the dependency would only be available in the test-compile and execution phases. What I needed was a scope that was available during the compilation, test, and execution phase. Searching the user-list showed a couple other people were tripped up by this as well.
I'd like to recommend a change of wording then to make this more clear:
"This scope ... is available in the compilation, test compilation, and execution phases."

Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: Documentation Deficit
Fixed in [r645089|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=645089].
bq. "This scope ... is only available for the test compilation and execution phases."
The current docs (2008-04-04) say this only about the {{test}} scope, the {{provided}} scope is already mentioned to be available during compilation. However, the docs did not mention it to be available during testing.
