What are you talking about? Of course I don't pay. It's an open source product. That's the business model today, right.... use open source and save money on software development costs. Of course until you have to get help with the product or try and read what is almost always a poor excuse for documentation as is the case with Maven.
But your attitude is wonderful. Just stick in the exclusion and be done. Right, until there is something else that breaks that can't be fixed because you've done nothing to educate your users about how to use the product. And then of course, because I am not paying (or my organization is not paying) then I have to rely on these mailing list which are a poor excuse for support. Your attitude is a perfect example of this. For instance this.... "me and Jörg did explain to you that maven always resolves all dependemcies (unless you exclude them), so there is your education". That is not an explanation, it's just a statement. And Jorg was of absolutely no help. Look at my other posts. I wasted the whole day running this with other versions to no avail.

If you dont care about maven just stick in the exclusion and be done.

I don't wish to be. I don't even want to use the product, and wouldn't if I wasn't required to for my job. So I get the impression that certain people answer questions because they are contributors and answer the question as if everyone else is a contributor and is expected to know the product as such. You folks in the open source arena have a lot to learn. Your reply that you "fixed my stupid pom" is one of those things. Good customer support would go something like this..... The problem you are having is because...... <provide an explanation here that someone who is not a contributor or even an intermediate or advanced user can understand> Here is what you need to do to fix that problem..... <provide the fix and explain why this fix is needed in this case> You have done nothing to educate the user and to make them more self-sufficient.
