Will Hoover commented on MNG-2163: ---------------------------------- Another use case is where you define a parent pom using the maven-eclipse-plugin enabling WTP capabilities by default: {code} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <wtpmanifest>true</wtpmanifest> <wtpapplicationxml>true</wtpapplicationxml> <wtpversion>2.0</wtpversion> </configuration> </plugin> {code} Then in a child pom of a project you want to disable the WTP because you are using m2eclipse. If you do not disable/exclude the maven-eclipse-plugin you get a nasty error message in eclipse: "An internal error occurred during: "Importing Maven projects". loader constraint violation: when resolving method "org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.Xpp3DomWriter.write(Lorg/codehaus/plexus/util/xml/XMLWriter;Lorg/codehaus/plexus/util/xml/Xpp3Dom;)V" the class loader (instance of org/codehaus/plexus/classworlds/realm/ClassRealm) of the current class, org/apache/maven/plugin/eclipse/writers/wtp/EclipseWtpApplicationXMLWriter, and the class loader (instance of org/eclipse/osgi/internal/baseadaptor/DefaultClassLoader) for resolved class, org/codehaus/plexus/util/xml/Xpp3DomWriter, have different Class objects for the type org/codehaus/plexus/util/xml/XMLWriter used in the signature" > Allow plugin dependencies to be excluded > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2163 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2163 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Environment: Windows XP, Cygwin > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Fix For: 3.x > > > Need to add an exclusions block in the POM for plugins.
