exclude on scope import

[Stephane Nicoll]

Hi,

Has anybody thought (or worked on) the ability to exclude dependencies from
the import of a pom for a given project.

Let's say that project S uses commons-logging and we use that project in
our project. We have something like

<dependency>
  <groupId>....</groupId>
  <artifactId>the-s-project</artifactId>
  <version>...</version>
  <type>pom</type>
  <scope>import<scope>
</dependency>

Now I'd like to exclude the "commons-logging" dependency from the whole
project so that I can use the slf4j binder instead.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
S.
