Difference between maven scope compile and provided for JAR packaging

Question

What is the difference between the maven scope compile and provided when artifact is built as a JAR? If it was WAR, I\'d understand - the artifact

Answer 1

• compile

Make available into class path, don't add this dependency into final jar if it is normal jar; but add this jar into jar if final jar is a single jar (for example, executable jar)

• provided

Dependency will be available at run time environment so don't add this dependency in any case; even not in single jar (i.e. executable jar etc)
