+          <b>Dependency Scopes:</b> Maven 2 has a concept of 
+          <it><a href="maven2/dependency-mechanism.html#dependency_scope">scopes</a></it> which are used to control
+          when and where the dependencies are used in terms of e.g. the compile, test and runtime class paths. Maven
+          1 doesn't have this concept but it's still useful for include this information when adding dependencies to
+          your project. It will be useful when you (possibly) convert your project to Maven 2 and if your repository
+          is ever converted to a Maven 2 repository the Maven 2 POMs will include dependencies with the correct scope.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          To set the scope on your dependency use the <it>scope</it> tag like this:
+      <source><![CDATA[<dependency>
+  <groupId>foo</groupId>
+  <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
+  <version>1.0</version>
+  <properties>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+  </properties>
+</dependency>]]></source>
