Description

In a project which uses something like mockrunner that requires some other jars to run the tests, those dependencies are listed as "Unused dependencies" even though the scope is set to "test".

<!-- referenced in test code -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mockrunner</groupId>
  <artifactId>mockrunner</artifactId>
  <version>0.4</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<!-- needed for test execution, but not referenced in code -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>jboss</groupId>
  <artifactId>jboss-j2ee</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.2</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.mockejb</groupId>
  <artifactId>mockejb</artifactId>
  <version>0.6-beta2</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
