Description

After upgrading maven-dependency-plugin 3.1.2 → 3.2.0 I get the following false positives in a project:

[WARNING] Non-test scoped test only dependencies found:
[WARNING]    org.springframework:spring-jdbc:jar:4.3.30.RELEASE:compile

This isn’t right, and with spring-jdbc scoped to test, the project doesn’t even compile.

This also applies if I dowgrade the Maven dependency analyser to 1.11.2 as in this commit; I cannot test with 1.11.1 (same version maven-dependency-plugin 3.1.2 used) because that’s incompatible with 3.2.0 so I cannot say for sure which of the two introduced this bug. If this is a bug in the shared component, please reassign appropriately.

I’m setting the severity as it is because this effectively prevents me from upgrading past 3.1.2 in my projects.
