Hi Polly,
Have you tried scope provided?
<dependency>
<groupId>org.fornax.cartridges</groupId>
<artifactId>fornax-cartridges-sculptor-generator</artifactId>
<version>${sculptor.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
That is how the archetypes generate the pom files and that is how I use it
without any further excludes, and it is not placed in war/ear.
