Description

We'd need a mechanism for the user to set the target app server for stuff like wars, ears,...
Maybe a plugin, maybe a core feature, that would iterate through dependencies and set scope as "provided" depending on the filter

A filter can be an xml file listing the dependencies that have to be provided (grop+artifact ?+version?)
we can provide a set of predefined filters like tomcat4, tomcat5, geronimo,... and the user would be able to add new ones
