I have another reason for excluding dependencies from the classpath (m2).
I am currently using the concept to specify an external resource (for
example a packaged CSS style library) as a dependency in my pom, and
then using a plugin to process that resource - possibly extract it in my
webapp. For that reason I need a way to tell that this dependency should
*not* be included in any of the current scopes, as this dependency is
not something for on the classpath.
This dependency is i.m.o. not part of the plugin; Rather I want the pom
to specify/overrride which version of this resource must be used.
But may be you see a better solution for this use case...

Thanks for the response. To answer your questions plainly, yes, this
happens to be a case where the container is providing the dependency at
runtime. So my resulting use case would be that I need a method to exclude
a dependency from the runtime classpath, which means it should not be
packaged with that dependency. Do you need more information?
No that's great. This appears to be the case so far where people are
developing container applications and they need to compile artifacts
provided by the container environment but you obviously don't need to
bundle them.
