Exclusion does not work when using dependencies generated using assembly plug in

[Anand HS]

Hi,
I have a project with the following structure

- ROOT
  - ModuleA
      - GeneratedDistribution.jar
      - Several Dependencies
  - ModuleB
     - Several Dependencies
     - Depends on GeneratedDistribution.jar
         - <ExclusionofDependenciesofModuleA>

Now When i build from ROOT, the exclusions do not really get excluded.
However, when i build from inside ModuleB, the exclusions get excluded.

I use Maven 2.0.9 but have also tried on 2.0.10 and the problem exists.

Any solution on  how to ensure a uniform behavior of ModuleA's dependencies
to be excluded from ModuleB.  would be appreciated

Thanks,
Anand
