Ran into this also recently (again). I believe a good way to solve this would be to allow overriding a dependency inherited from the parent POM with `<scope>none</scope>` or something like that.
I tried overriding with `<scope>provided</scope>` but for some reason that didn't seem to work. The context was trying that I typically have `slf4j-simple` as a test dependency for all modules so I had added that to the parent, but then I had one module where I absolutely needed to use the log4j SLF4J binding and I couldn't get rid of the `slf4j-simple` then just for that module. That said, in general I would advise against inheriting dependencies from parents. Typically, you inherit too much and that means you'll have to add excludes for the dependency analyzer plugin as well... it's a mess. -- Richard > On 25.
