Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm not understanding the documentation correctly, but in the table of the "Dependency Scope" section of this page: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
it seems to say that a provided dependency is transitively provided, so doesn't that mean it still should not be copied to WEB-INF\lib? ----- Original Message ---- From: Tommy Knowlton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Maven Users List <users@maven.apache.org> Sent: Friday, 24 August, 2007 1:29:38 PM Subject: Re: provided dependencies my guess would be that both modules depend transitively on the javax.servlet in the runtime scope. but, since guessing is not likely to be very helpful, may I recommend the maven-dependency-plugin, which can give you a report that may help you to locate the actual dependency chain that ends up bringing those in. Then, you should decide whether to use <exclusions/> elements in the <dependency/> declarations of those things that ended up bringing it in.
