Yes, that's basically it. If the dependency you wan't to exclude is not needed at all in HBase you can add the exclusion to the dependencyManagement section in the main pom. Otherwise just add it to the dependency section of the module in question. You can look at the output of "mvn dependency:tree" but that isn't very nice looking. A "mvn site" should build a similar report but I'm not sure about the state of site generation at the moment. "mvn dependency:analyze" might provide helpful information too. If you run it in the main directory it'll output the reports for all the modules inline so you need to scroll back to see what it says. Lars
