Excluding "provided" dependencies from Maven assembly

I am trying to use the Maven assembly plugin to build a jar-with-dependencies, except those that have provided scope.

I have copied the jar-with-dependencies into an assembly.xml file and configured its use in my pom. Here it is for reference:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assembly>
  <id>injectable-jar</id>
  <formats>
    <format>jar</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
      <unpack>true</unpack>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependencySet>
  </dependencySets>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
</assembly>

I have found out, that if I set the scope to provided, then I can build a jar that contains exactly what I don't want, but I cannot figure out how to get inverse behavior of that.

This is an old post, but the maven-dependency-plugin now has an "excludeScope" option that you can set to "provided" or whatever scope you need.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html#excludeScope

For example,

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.10</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>copy-dependencies</id>
            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
                <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
                <overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
                <overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
                <excludeScope>provided</excludeScope>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
