I have many dependencies in my module and all I need is the jars. I don't need sources or javadoc. Sometimes the later two fail during retrieve. I need to disable downloading them. I know I can use something like:
conf="deault->*, !source, !javadoc" but this has to be done on each dependency. A thread here discusses the issue, but it has not been answered. http://old.nabble.com/How-to-exclude-source-and-javadoc-download-td20808519.html
