--------------------------------------
Thanks for the honesty and taking the time to respond.
> Ability to exchange dependencies
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6724
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6724
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Thorsten Glaser
> Priority: Minor
>
> Feature Request: I would like to have the explicit ability to exchange
> dependencies globally, such as from dependencyManagement.
> Currently, I can do <excludes> on a dependency’’s transitive dependency, then
> add an explicit <dependency> to the POM of my final WAR (and possibly a
> test-scoped one on the JAR it’s in), but that makes the
> maven-dependency-plugin:3.1.1:analyze-only goal complain about a declared but
> unused dependency.
> With the javax.* → jakarta moves (and some others, e.g. I need the
> com.sun.activation version of jakarta.activation instead of the Jakarta one)
> and multiple JAXB implementations around, this is becoming troublesome.
> Therefore, I would like for Maven to allow something like this:
> {code:java}
> <dependencyManagement>
> <substitutions>
> <substitution>
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
> <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
> </exclusion>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
> <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
> </dependency>
> </substitution>
> <!-- … -->
> </substitutions>
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
> <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
> <version>${jaxb-api.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <!-- … -->
> </dependencies>
> </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> This would recursively replace the old JAXB-API with the new one but not add
> them where unnecessary, and make the maven-dependency-plugin’s checks do the
> right thing.
> Thanks in advance for consideration!
