You can exclude the rome's transitive jdom dependency like this (from
the top of my head):
<dependency>
<groupId>rome</groupId>
<artifactId>rome</artifactId>
<version>0.9</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>jdom</groupId>
<artifactId>jdom</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
As far as I know Maven does not automatically resolve version
conflicts between (transitive) dependencies, you just end up with both
versions of the jar.
