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

For a jar file, the difference is in the classpath listed in the MANIFEST.MF file included in the jar if addClassPath is set to true in the maven-jar-plugin configuration. 'compile' dependencies will appear in the manifest, 'provided' dependencies won't.

One of my pet peeves is that these two words should have the same tense. Either compiled and provided, or compile and provide.
