Carlin Scott commented on MNG-4444:
-----------------------------------
According to Maven documentation:
{quote}
*test*
This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the
application, and is only available for the +test compilation+ and execution
phases.
{quote}
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope
So if my plugin is only needed for test compilation, shouldn't I use the test
scope?
