Hans Dockter commented on IVY-820:
----------------------------------
You are right. From reading the reference I thought that not specifying a
configuration or setting it to "*", means for all configurations. But I have
learned from the code that this is true only if you use XML, as the wildcard
resolution is done by the Ivy XML parser. When using Ivy via its API there are
no wildcards mechanisms in this context.
> Global Exclusions Fail to Work Transitively

> Key: IVY-820
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-820
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
> Environment: Java 6
> Reporter: Julian
>
> When declaring a global exclusion, the module is excluded only from locally
> declared dependencies, and not their transitive dependencies. The only way
> to exclude a module from an entire project, is to declare the exclusion
> locally for every dependency that either directly, or through a transitive
> dependency, relies on the module. A detailed explanation of this issue can
> be found on the mailing lists here (first two posts explain the issue more
> thoroughly):
