scope:

• compile - default used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths. Furthermore, those dependencies are propagated to dependent projects.
• provided - this is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide it at runtime. It is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is not transitive.
• runtime - this scope 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 - this scope 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.
