Yes; if scope is “provided”, maven will make sure the jar is available on the compile class path as well as the test compile and test run class paths; however, anything that depends on your module will not inherit the dependency transitively, I believe (although I have tried this) that if you use an assembly plugin to package your project, it will ignore the provided dependency.
