Using an assembly is fine, but in this case may be unnecessary.
First, you need to identify which dependency is requiring the library you
are trying to exclude.
You can do this using:
mvn dependency:tree
The output is an ascii-art style tree which shows all the artifacts in your
project. Once you identify the artifact that is forcing the dependency you
can add a dependency exclusion in the <dependency> for that artifact.
For example:
<dependency>
<groupId>some-hibernate-dependee.group</groupId>
<artifactId>some-hibernate-dependee.artifact</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Hope that helps.
