Maven: Pofile: dependency Repetition - maven

Question

I am trying my hand for the first time with maven profiles.
In our project, we have several dependencies (one would expect :) ).
Now we want to create a profile, for which, all dependencies will have "scope" as "provided"
So there are two profiles, one with
<scope>provided</scope> and without a scope.
My problem is while creating the pom.xml with multiple profiles, a lot of lines are repeated. Basically, both profiles are having the same set of lines in the dependencies section except <scope>provided</scope>
I am trying to find a way to shorten this file. I am looking up for ways to achieve this. I am not finding a good solution. so posting a question here. Hope someone has come across this and can help me here.
This is how my pom.xml looks like right now:
Is there a way to shorten the lines? remove all the repetition I have in my pom.xml? Thanks.

Answer 1

Common dependencies go outside the profiles in a single root level <dependencies/> stanza. This is all very well documented.
