Multiple Dependency Scopes in POM

Question

I have a dependency in my POM that needs to be set to \"provided\" so it is not included at compilation, but it can still be referenced within my project. I would like the same

You could use a profile that either declares those dependencies as test or as provided - depending on what is more convenient for you:

    
        whatever
        
            
                env
                whatever 
            
        
        
            
              yours
              yours
                provided
            
        
    
    
        test
        
            
                env
                test 
            
        
        
            
              yours
              yours
                test
            
        
    

Those profiles get activated by setting the property env but there are other ways, f.e. default activation - have a look here for that.
