#-# Scope

Scope Description

compile Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths of a project and are propagated to dependent projects. (default)
provided Similar to compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime.
runtime Indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for execution. It is in the runtime and test classpaths, but not the compile classpath.
test Indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution phases.
system This scope is similar to provided except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always available and is not looked up in a repository.
import Indicates that the specified POM should be replaced with the dependencies in that POM’s section. Since they are replaced, dependencies with a scope of import do not actually participate in limiting the transitivity of a dependency.
