Odd, for me the inverse is true. I need the most things on my classpath at
test time [servlet spec, junit], fewer at compile [servlet spec], and fewest
at run time [just my war].
Here's the snippet of my configurations, and their mapping. I use
externalized configuration so there's added confs for configuration and
externalized WSDLs..
<configurations
defaultconfmapping="runtime->runtime(*);config->config(*);test->runtime(*);compile->runtime(*)">
<conf name="config" description="LCFG configuration templates
associated with this module"/>
<conf name="wsdl" description="WSDLs associated with this module"/>
<conf name="runtime" extends="config,wsdl" description="anything
necessary to run; bundled into EAR/WAR"/>
<conf name="compile" extends="runtime" visibility="private"
description="anything necessary to compile"/>
<conf name="test" extends="compile" visibility="private"
description="anything needed to run unit tests"/>
</configurations>
