Based on this definition, which comes from the maven docs, I should NOT get the "primary" dependency in my build, but what about the transitive dependencies? Do you suggest I should not be seeing this behavior when the primary dependency is provided? thanks again.
provided provided dependencies are used when you expect the JDK or a container to provide them. For example, if you were developing a web application, you would need the Servlet API available on the compile classpath to compile a servlet, but you wouldn’t want to include the Servlet API in the packaged WAR; the Servlet API JAR is supplied by your application server or servlet container. provided dependencies are available on the compilation classpath (not runtime). They are not transitive, nor are they packaged.
