Paul Donohue commented on MDEP-105:
-----------------------------------
I agree this would be a useful feature in the maven-dependency-plugin.
However, until it gets implemented in the maven-dependency-plugin, the
maven-assembly-plugin can be (ab)used to accomplish the desired behavior:

> Make it possible to copy all dependencies (and their transitive ones)
> excluding a few (and their transitive ones)

> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: copy
> Reporter: Stefano Mazzocchi

> While it is currently possible to exclude particular artifacts from being
> copied, this happens after the transitive dependencies have been evaluated.
> This makes it impossible to exclude one artifacts along with all their
> transitive dependencies. A suggestion (don't know how feasible this is) would
> be to have two exclusion lists, one that gets applied before the transitive
> dependency is called and one after.
