maven pom generation

                 Key: IVY-1063
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1063
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Maven Compatibility
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Felix Simmendinger
             Fix For: 2.1.0


One of the major drawbacks in ant-ivy development is that maven is the defacto 
standard so we need to produce best fitted pom files.
To generate poms where local excludes are transferred is easy when you stick to 
conventions. To map overrides and conflicts to explicit dependencies is the 
most straight forward solution to transfer ivys superior dependency management 
to maven boiler plate.  For overrides its quite easy but for conflicts we need 
to access the conflictManagers ModuleRules. Its private and there is no 
accessor in the interface.

Another Point is how to deal with global excludes. It would be nice if 
canExclude(ModuleId id) would also work transitively or if there would be a 
transitive method, then it would be possible to work with global excludes for 
our own modules and local exlcludes for third party.

We are building 50+ modules with overall 1.000K+ lines of code and we have to 
produce maven poms as best as possible.
