Adding #RunWith for jbehave-junit-runner breaks JBehave build using Maven - eclipse

Question

I'm using JBehave with my Maven build which I also develop in Eclipse and sometimes run the my unit tests with the JUnit runner in Eclipse. I found jbehave-junit-runner works well for beautifying the JBehave stories in the JUnit runner. However, adding jbehave-junit-runner seems to have broken my Maven build.
Result of mvn clean install after installing https://github.com/codecentric/jbehave-junit-runner:

What is it about https://github.com/codecentric/jbehave-junit-runner that broke my build?

Answer 1

The solution to the problem is to broaden the scope of junit by removing the test element from the junit in the pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.11</version>
<!-- <scope>test</scope> --> <!-- SOLUTION: COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE -->
</dependency>
I think I stumbled into a paradox of JBehave and Behavior Driven Design (BDD):
On the one hand, BDD is not testing (see http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/examples-philosophy.html).
On the other hand, a tool for BDD, https://github.com/codecentric/jbehave-junit-runner, depends on the #RunWith annotation that's in a test framework, specifically org.junit.runner.RunWith.
I worry that my solution may have consequences for my production code if I'm no longer limiting the scope of junit to the Maven standard test directory.
Nevertheless, my solution did solve the original problem.
