I would say no, so long as it's not in the published POM.

You *might* be able to include it in the POM with <scope>test</scope> 
and not cause problems. That would allow you to compile against it.

The theoretically-right way to do this is with <scope>provided</scope>, 
but that doesn't work because Maven inexplicably carries forward all 
transitive dependencies, even if they're supposed to be excluded.
