Allow exclusion of a certain transitive dependency across all direct
dependencies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3196
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3196
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.7
Reporter: Paul Gier
I would like to be able to put exludes at the top level of dependencies so that
it can easily be excluded from all transitive dependencies, instead of just
excluding it from a single dependency at a time. For example assume that
project1 and project2 both have transitive dependencies on different versions
of project-trans:
<dependencies>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.stuff</groupId>
<artifactId>project-trans</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.stuff</groupId>
<artifactId>project1</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.stuff</groupId>
<artifactId>project2</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependency>
</dependencies>
In this example, the "project-trans" dependency would be exluded from both
project1 and project2. It can be difficult to find all the locations of a
transitively included dependency for a large project that has a large number of
frequently changing dependencies.
