Ciprian Pascu commented on MNG-3832:
------------------------------------
Sorry for writing so late Sergei,
The scenario is simple:
Create a pom file. Add a dependency with transitive dependencies. For example
axis 2 dependency.
From command line execute mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose=true
The entire tree is visible.
Add exclusion with * to axis 2 dependency.
From command line execute again mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose=true
The entire tree is visible. But it shouldn't.
> 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}
