Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6120:
--------------------------------------------
I think setting the default to runtime would be a non starter for most
projects.
> Allow changing of default scope and change the default scope
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6120
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6120
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Caleb Cushing
> Priority: Major
>
> Recently I've realized that a lot of what jigsaw will provide regarding
> transient dependencies can be resolved in maven if you use
> <dependencyManagement> and set the default scope for each dep to runtime, and
> then override that where you actually want compile time dependencies. I think
> it would be nice if you could easily set the default scope for all modules
> (meaning those that don't specify scope) to runtime (or compile, or
> whatever), and then set the default to runtime in the next major maven
> version (4?).
> Even if I only got the ability to set that default scope that'd be great.
