Matthew Smith commented on MNG-2315:
------------------------------------
While transitive dependencies is what maven is all about and makes it the
wonderful tool it is, there are times when those dependencies need a finer
grain control. Not every pom is created equal and there are time when it is a
good thing to be able to exclude all the dependencies and only include the few
that are really required by a specific use case.
This is of course the exception, but an exceptional tool should be able to
handle the exceptional cases.
