Apache Maven Enforcer Built-In Rules – Require Explicit Dependency Scope

Require Explicit Dependency Scope

This rule enforces that all dependencies have an explicitly declared scope in the non-effective pom (i.e. without taking inheritance or dependency management into account). Useful when the scope is no longer part of the dependencyManagement or in general to force making developers a distinct decision (prevents the default scope compile being used for test dependencies by accident)

The rule does not support parameters.

Sample Plugin Configuration:

<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>require-explicit-dependency-scope</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>enforce</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <rules>
                <requireExplicitDependencyScope />
              </rules>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
