Before I look into writing a custom plugin: is there any way to get Maven to produce an artifact (zip?) containing the dependencies with scope "provided"?
Most of the jar files required by our web app will be provided by Tomcat outside of the war file. But since I also need to be the one to provide these jars, it would be ideal if I could have Maven produce them based on declared scope in the POM files. Without this, we are sure to see mismatches in compile vs runtime library versions over time. -Andrew
