Does using an exclusion on a dependency of a dependency mean that if I
include a dependency for that jar myself that it won't be used? For
example, if I have:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
This works fine, I have pico in my classpath. However, if I try to add
XDoclet:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>picocontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>picocontainer</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>freemarker</groupId>
<artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>generama</groupId>
<artifactId>qdox</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>xpp3</groupId>
<artifactId>xpp3</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet-plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-plugin-hibernate</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>xdoclet-plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-plugin-qtags</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
My picocontainer dependency is ignored (excluded?). It won't work without
the exclude and it won't work with the exclude. It seems I'm screwed.
