clojure - What does :scope "provided" mean? -

i've seen lot of places dependencies in clojure project marked :scope "provided" (example).

what mean?

you can read maven scopes, since same thing. difference between maven scope compile , provided jar packaging . far can understand, if use lib in project, should add these dependencies project.clj, lib (still can mistaken)

there other scopes can use: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#dependency_scope
