>                 Key: MNG-2864
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2864
>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Dependencies
>            Reporter: Bernhard Mähr
>            Priority: Minor

> Hello!
> I have this situation:
> WAR
>   |----- compile/optional----> POM ---- compile ---> JAR1
>   |----- compile/optional----> JAR2
> If I build WAR I get a war-file with the Manifest entries JAR1 and JAR2  and the file JAR1 in WEB-INF\lib.
> I would expect a war-file with the Manifest entries JAR1 and JAR2  and no WEB-INF\lib.
> It seams to me that  JAR1 is included because the second dependency is without optional and the optional from the frist dependency is not transitive to the second dependency. 
> Generally I think it is a hack  to use the combination compile/optional to decide a lib should be included in Manifest but not in the lib dir. I think the should be an additional  scope betwen compile and provided for this purpose.
