Christoph Henrici commented on MNG-1977: ---------------------------------------- A real world problem needs a solution. > Global dependency exclusions > ---------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1977 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1977 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: POM > Reporter: Kees de Kooter > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x > > Attachments: global_excls_it-test_v2.patch, > global_excls_it-test_v3.patch, global_excls_maven3_v2.patch, > global_excls_maven3_v3.patch > > > I depend on some libraries, which in turn depend on something > (which in turn depend on something) that I don't want, because I declare > some other artifact in my pom.xml. > A concrete example: I don't want that the artifact "xerces" is imported in > my project because I declare to depend on "xercesImpl" which ships newer > libraries but with the same namespaces. > I guess I would need an "exclude transitive dependency at all", either > globally or from this and that artifact. I saw the <exclusions> tag, but it > forces me to be very verbose and have exact control on what is required by a > dependency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
