help with maven-dependency-plugin

[Thomas Scheffler]

Hi,

I am using the maven-dependency-plugin to build a big jar file out of direct 
dependencies (code below). If that big jar file is a dependency of another 
project all direct dependencies are also copied over. I just want to copy the 
transitive dependencies of the big jar file.

I tried to mark the dependencies of the big jar file with scope "provided" but 
then also the transitive dependency got marked as "provided".

I am at wits' end now. Can the big jar file mark direct dependencies as 
"provided" but copy the dependencies of it as its own dependencies somehow?

regards

Thomas
