Description

I have an artifact A (elsag-test below), that is used by other projects only for the tests. A has a dependency to commons-logging. Artifact B has a compile-time dependency to an artifact, that also has a dependency on commons-logging. Nevertheless, the resulting scope for commons-logging is wrongly calculated as test and the compilation fails.

If I add commons-logging as direct dependency of B it works:

Unfortunately this introduces a dependency for commons-logging, therefore I wanted to set the dep at least optional, but then commons-logging is again not available at compile time. Might be related to MNG-1378.
