Description

Starting with 3.2.0, I see this problem in one of my project modules:

[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:3.2.0:analyze-only (basepom.default) @ foundation ---
[WARNING] Non-test scoped test only dependencies found:
[WARNING] com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.12.2:compile

This is not correct:

% cd lib/foundation

% grep -r databind src/main

src/main/java/dev/data/DataSet.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/DataSet.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/WriteableLocator.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectMetadata.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectMetadata.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/DataDefinition.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectAttribute.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectAttribute.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectDefinition.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ObjectDefinition.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
src/main/java/dev/data/ImmutableDataObject.java:import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;

So this dependency is used all over the place in the main sources (which is why it can not be in test scope). However, the plugin no longer (it did in 3.1.2) recognize it (all the uses are just annotations, so I guess that is the problem) and raises this error.
