MAVEN SCOPE

In Maven (which seems to be the build tool you're using based on the dependency structure), the <scope> tag controls how a dependency is included in your project and its lifecycle phases. It determines:

1. Classpath Availability: When the dependency's classes are available to your code.
2. Transitivity: Whether the dependency's own dependencies (its dependencies' dependencies) are also included in your project.

Here's a breakdown of common Maven scopes and their effects:

Scope	Compile Time	Test Time	Runtime	Transitive	Description
compile	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Default scope: Dependency is available in all classpaths and propagated to dependent projects.
provided	Yes	Yes	No	No	Dependency is expected to be provided by the runtime environment (e.g., a web server or container).
runtime	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Dependency is needed for execution but not for compilation (e.g., JDBC drivers).
test	Yes	Yes	No	No	Dependency is needed only for testing (e.g., JUnit).
system	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Similar to provided, but you manually specify the dependency's location (not recommended for most cases).
(None)	Same as compile				If no scope is specified, Maven treats it as compile.

Export to Sheets

In your specific case:

• You have a dependency on okcoin-c2c-model with version 0.0.7-SNAPSHOT.
• The commented-out <scope>compile</scope> means that, by default, this dependency is available in all stages (compiling your code, running tests, and running your application).
• It also means that if okcoin-c2c-model itself has dependencies, those will be included in your project as well.

Why you might change the scope:

• provided: If okcoin-c2c-model is provided by your runtime environment (e.g., a container like Tomcat or Jetty), you could set the scope to provided to avoid including it in your packaged application (WAR or JAR).
• test: If okcoin-c2c-model is only needed for testing purposes (e.g., it contains test utilities), you could set the scope to test to exclude it from your final application artifact.

Important Note:

Since your dependency is on a -SNAPSHOT version, it's likely still under development. In that case, keeping the default compile scope is probably the safest choice, as it ensures you're always using the latest version of the code during development and testing.

Let me know if you'd like a more tailored recommendation based on the specific role of okcoin-c2c-model in your project!
