Exclusion of transitive dependiencies does not work
---------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3742
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3742
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: Grzegorz Borkowski
Attachments: pom.xml
I create empty project with jar-type pom. I add dependency on log4j 1.2.15 (the
most up-to-date version). Build fails, because log4j declares in its pom
dependencies on some Sun librareis, which are not available for Maven to
download. They should be marked optional in log4j pom, but they are not (they
claim it will be fixed in 1.2.16, but it is not released yet). So I exclude
dependienices, according to the document:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dependency+Mechanism
However, build still fails, as Maven still tries to download excluded
libraries. This seems a bug in Maven.
This is easilyt reproducable from comand-line, NetBeans or Eclipse.
See my pom attached.
