https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BUILDR/How+to+exclude+dependencies+from+transitive%28%29 However to be perfectly honest I never ever use transitive dependencies. I will explicitly enumerate all the dependencies that I eed. It makes it much easier to make the build repeatable. i.e. Someone updating a pom on a remote repository will not break my local build. > Forgive me for being a naive outsider, but this whole business of JAR > repositories and dependencies reminds me of RPM dependency hell, and > just doesn't feel very DRY.
