jtnord opened a new issue, #12428: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven/issues/12428
### New feature, improvement proposal currently it is possible to add any `groupId`/`artifactId` inside an `exclusion` for a given dependency. However if that exclusion is not within the dependency chain of the specified dependency then no warning is emmited by maven. Over time this can lead to accumulation of no longer needed exclusions. It would be useful if Maven emitted a log (warning?) about exclusions for a dependency that have no impact. e.g. given the following `pom.xml` ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>test</groupId> <artifactId>test</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId> <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId> <version>5.11.0</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.apache.continuum</groupId> <artifactId>continuum-core</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> ``` running `mvn package -DskipTests` results in no warnings that the apache continuum exclusion is not needed. it would be nice to have an entry like `[WARNING] exclusion of org.apache.continuum:continuum-core for org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api in test:test is obsolete - there is no dependency on this exclusion` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
