dependency scopes

["ir. ing. Jan Dockx" <ja...@mac.com>]

I don't understand the dependency scope mechanism. Therefor, I created 
a page in the Wiki to get this sorted out.

<http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dependency+Scopes>

In the first version of this page, I am trying to make sense of 
different sources about the topic. This means the information here is 
not correct per definition! The intention of this page is to get it 
correct and clear, so please, if you do know something about dependency 
scopes, change the nonsense there 

Re: dependency scopes

[Geoffrey <jc...@hotmail.com>]

I think I have a little bit of a similar problem (need for an assembly 
scope) in m2:
I have a dependency on acegi-security 0.9.0 (and spring 1.2.6),
but acegi has many dependencies needed to compile, but that I don't need 
at runtime because I don't use all of acegi's classes.

Exclusions works, but the list is very long and I need to set it again 
for acegi-tiger. If I ever would need one of those libraries, I can add 
it with a runtime scope, so is it possible to say "exclude all"?
