Sergei Ivanov commented on MNG-3832:
------------------------------------
Denis/Ciprian: it would be beneficial if you attached a small test project + a
more detailed explanation to demonstrate the problem.
> Allow wildcards in dependency exclusions

> I would like to be able to exclude all transitive dependencies from a certain
> dependencies. This is especially useful when depending on an artifact with a
> classifier that may not have the same dependencies as the main artifact.
> Currently the only way to do this is by excluding each dependency
> individually which requires significant effort and is prone to becoming out
> of date. The following syntax is one possibility.
> Exclude all transitive dependencies
> {code}
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>*</groupId>
> </exclusion>
> {code}
> Exclude transitive dependencies with the groupId "org.company"
> {code}
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>org.company</groupId>
> <artifactId>*</artifactId>
> </exclusion>
> {code}
