If I want a dependency to be available during compilation of an uberjar but not bundled inside the uberjar. How would I go about that?

Put it in {:profiles {:uberjar {:dependencies [[my-jar-here "0.1.0"]]}}

?

I think the profile provided is correct

Yes - you can have profile-specific dependencies like in the example above.

@johnnyillinois [my-jar-here "0.1.0" :scope "provided"] as an example
