How to add provided in Maven Central

[Josiah Noel]

I notice on Maven Central, lombok is listed like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.30</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

What did you guys do to add that provided scope on Maven Central? 

[guillaume LE LOUËT]

<dependency>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>

<optional>true</optional>

</dependency>

works for me.

I know how scopes work. I'm asking how Lombok added a provided clause here.

Hi Josiah,

our maven push is done by build.xml so you can just check that out :)

mvnrepository.com is not an official sonatype site. It is developed by an independent developer. It uses some heuristics to suggest a scope for the dependency declaration, AFAIK this does not come from the artifacts uploaded to central.
