Identify Difference of Dependency Graphs between Gradle and Maven

[suztomo]

Maven picks the closest while Gradle picks the latest

Gradle does not respect Maven's scope?

Gradle reads Maven's scopes and adds the dependencies to corresponding configuration (classpath) if necessary.

Questions

• Does Gradle include provided-scope transitive dependencies?
  Ben observed it does https://github.com/mesos/mesos-rxjava/blob/master/pom.xml#L141-L151
• I don't see it includes provided-scope dependencies. https://github.com/suztomo/gradle-behaviors/tree/master/gradle-and-provided-scope
• I see it includes runtime-scope dependencies to runtimeClasspath: https://github.com/suztomo/gradle-behaviors/tree/master/gradle-and-runtime-scope, but not compileClasspath. What's the rule of this behavior?

Gradle does not respect profiles in pom.xml

• Tested with google-cloud-firestore:1.32.0, which relies on Maven profiles to add dependencies. https://github.com/suztomo/gradle-behaviors/tree/master/gradle-and-java9-profile. Gradle ignores Maven profiles.
