Matt Yates commented on MNG-3832:
---------------------------------
This gentleman (Jos Dirksen) figured out what's going on and describes it [on
his blog|http://www.smartjava.org/content/maven-and-wildcard-exclusions]
In short, the above discussed {{ExcludesArtifactFilter}} is not even called (at
least in Maven 3)
Exclusions checks are instead made by
[ExclusionDependencySelector|https://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-aether/blob/master/aether-util/src/main/java/org/sonatype/aether/util/graph/selector/ExclusionDependencySelector.java]
which handles the wildcard cases
Basically, the only thing the needs to happen now is clean up of the warnings
you get when you try to do this
> Allow wildcards in dependency exclusions

> I would like to be able to exclude all transitive dependencies from a certain
> dependencies. This is especially useful when depending on an artifact with a
> classifier that may not have the same dependencies as the main artifact.
> Currently the only way to do this is by excluding each dependency
> individually which requires significant effort and is prone to becoming out
> of date. The following syntax is one possibility.
> Exclude all transitive dependencies
> {code}
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>*</groupId>
> </exclusion>
> {code}
> Exclude transitive dependencies with the groupId "org.company"
> {code}
> <exclusion>
> <groupId>org.company</groupId>
> <artifactId>*</artifactId>
> </exclusion>
> {code}
