如何在Maven中定义一种新的范围？

Question

为了告诉Flexmojo Maven插件您的项目应该使用特定主题，有必要为您的项目添加范围“主题”依赖项，如下所示：

            <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.adobe.flex.framework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spark</artifactId>
                    <version>4.1.0.16076</version>
                    <type>swc</type>
                    <scope>theme</scope>
            </dependency>

这样可以正常工作，但会产生以下可怕的警告：

[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective
model for com.mycorp.core:myapp-core-flex-client:swf:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'dependencies.dependency.scope' for
com.adobe.flex.framework:spark:swc must be one of [provided, compile,
runtime, test, system] but is 'theme'. @ line 48, column 11
[WARNING]
[WARNING] It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they
threaten the stability of your build.
[WARNING]
[WARNING] For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer
support building such malformed projects.

有没有办法将新类型的范围添加到Maven，以便它接受它是合法的？或者至少摆脱警告？

Maven中的范围数量是固定的，see the POM reference。
