Robert Scholte commented on MNG-5600: ------------------------------------- It looks like the provided patch is incorrect (which might be why we didn't included it in any Maven release yet). Based on the integration-test it seems to exclude direct dependencies (as if you would exclude one of the managed spring modules as described in the description). I can't predict the impact, so we might need to delay this for a future pom version. > Dependency management import should support exclusions. > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5600 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5600 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Radai Rosenblatt > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.7.0-candidate > > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > suppose i have a multi-module project that uses spring, and so have this in > dependency-managements in a parent pom: > {code:xml} > <dependency> > <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> > <artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId> > <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> > <type>pom</type> > <scope>import</scope> > </dependency> > {code} > spring artifacts (or at least a lot of them) have a dependency on > commons-logging. right now, if i want to exclude commons-logging i have to > add an exclusion to every spring dependency in every module of my project, > which is actually more XML overall than giving up on using the bom dependency > altogether and listing all spring dependencies with excludes once in the > parent dependency management. > I'd like to be able to do this: > {code:xml} > <dependency> > <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> > <artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId> > <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> > <type>pom</type> > <scope>import</scope> > <exclusions> > <exclusion> > <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> > <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> > </exclusion> > </exclusions> > </dependency> > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
