Classpath entries to be marked as NOT exported

Description

This is the other side of the MECLIPSE-230.

In my war project, for all the jar's that are provided, test, or otherwise NOT to be exported, eclipse complains with a warning:
"Classpath entry M2_REPO/junit/junit/4.4/junit-4.4.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result."

The work around is the "quick fix", but that means that you have to do this every time you run eclipse:eclipse.

The fix would be to add that it is a non-dependency:
<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/junit/junit/4.4/junit-4.4.jar" sourcepath="M2_REPO/junit/junit/4.4/junit-4.4-sources.jar">
<attributes>
<attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.nondependency" value=""/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>

Thus if a dependency is exported (scope=runtime)

<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/......jar" sourcepath="M2_REPO/.........-sources.jar" exported="true"/>

and for a non exported entry (scope<>runtime):

<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/........jar" sourcepath="M2_REPO/....-sources.jar" exported="false">
<attributes>
<attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.nondependency" value=""/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>

Right ?
exported="false" is optional I suppose (it's the default value)
With which version of eclipse does it work ?

I'm using eclipse 3.4.2.

Actually the exported=[true|false] doesn't show up. For the ones which are exported, they show up as follows.

<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/........jar" sourcepath="M2_REPO/........-sources.jar">
		<attributes>
			<attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.dependency" value="/WEB-INF/lib"/>
		</attributes>
</classpathentry>

I have not actually dug through the code to check exactly where this is or how it gets from the export to being an attribute.

Found a workaround:
"As a workaround these warnings can be filtered out by removing selection from
"Classpath Dependency Validator Message" in Problems view filter configuration."
