-------------------------------------
I also disagree with "Won't fix"
> The dependencyManagement element is not for managing plugins or extension.
This is not the point here.
If e.g. maven-antrun-plugin is used and one adds a dependency to ant and
ant-contrib that is just a plain dependency and no plugin. This should be
treated as any other dependency. And as shown by the two redundant issues on
this topic it seems to be just natural to expect maven to behave like this.
Without a fix on this one has to add redundant exclusions, etc. to his POMs.
Maven is really great in reducing redundancies with all the POM inheritance
features and convention-over-configuration philosophy, etc.
I can not see a reason why this feature should not be added.
