Brian Fox commented on MNG-1977: -------------------------------- Pierre, The pom format can't be changed until Maven 3.x. The alphas of 3.x are close by, but currently it's focused on 2.x compatibility with the new code and a process to handle pom model changes hasn't been built yet. > Global dependency exclusions > ---------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1977 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1977 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: POM > Reporter: Kees de Kooter > Fix For: 3.x > > > I depend on some libraries, which in turn depend on something > (which in turn depend on something) that I don't want, because I declare > some other artifact in my pom.xml. > A concrete example: I don't want that the artifact "xerces" is imported in > my project because I declare to depend on "xercesImpl" which ships newer > libraries but with the same namespaces. > I guess I would need an "exclude transitive dependency at all", either > globally or from this and that artifact. I saw the <exclusions> tag, but it > forces me to be very verbose and have exact control on what is required by a > dependency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
