But, it *is* optional, because the annotations are not required at runtime. Putting it in "provided" scope means that it's up to the users to make sure it is actually provided in the runtime environment (such as the servlet API or something). This would make users think they need to make sure it's there when they really don't. The dependency is a compile-time (the default scope), optional dependency. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
