Excluding “provided” dependencies from Maven assembly

This is an old post, but the maven-dependency-plugin now has an "excludeScope" option that you can set to "provided" or whatever scope you need.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html#excludeScope

For example,

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-dependency-plugin
    2.10
    
        
            copy-dependencies
            prepare-package
            
                copy-dependencies
            
            
                ${project.build.directory}/lib
                false
                false
                true
                provided
