How do I exclude a dependency in provided scope when running in Maven test scope?

How do I exclude a dependency in provided scope when running in Maven test scope? I have an unusual use case where I need to exclude a particular provided implementation and replace it with another in the test cases. It seems that Maven tests always include other scopes as well but in my case I want to make some exception. How do I do this?

I think, the simplest way to do this is to create 2 profiles for each dependency you want to use. You can activateByDefault the one with provided scope.

It may look like this :

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>providedDependency</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>[provided dependency information]</dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>testDependency</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>[test dependency information]</dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </profile>
</profiles>

When passing into test mode, unactivate the provided dependency and activate the other

mvn test -P!providedDependency,testDependency

There are situations where you need to run your tests in a different module. That may be what you need here. It allows your tests to use different dependencies, properties and version of Java etc.
