I'm using the Ant tasks from m2-a2 to download and use jars for Cocoon.

The transitive dependency is giving me some issues:

1 - I don't know which jars get downloaded simply as a result of a
    transitive dependency.
    Something like the below suggestion would help.

                  - ~ -

  Downloading: xxy/xxy-impl/1.0/xxy-impl-1.0.jar

  Referenced by:
    > pom
  + > xyz  (suggested 0.9)
  - > xddz (suggested 1.1)

  Transferring 128K

                  - ~ -

  Downloading: xdy/xdy-impl/1.1/xdy-impl-1.1.jar

  Referenced by:
    > pom

  Transferring 12K

                  - ~ -

  Downloading: xeey/xeey-impl/1.0/xeey-impl-1.0.jar

  Referenced by:
  - > xddz (suggested 1.1)

  Transferring 19K

                  - ~ -

2 - I specified *xercesImpl* 2.6.2 but it also downloaded *xerces* 1.6.3
    as a result of a transitive dependency.
    There could be some kind of link that points the xerces requests
    done by the transitive dep system to the newer artifacts.

3 - I specified ant *1.6.5* and got ant-*optional-1.5.1* as an extra
    dependency because of a transitive dependency on another jar.
    This is similar to the above problem, only that I would now have to
    get more jars instead of the old 1.5.1 which has been split.

As a temporary solution to the above two problems, one could manually specify which jars *not* to download. In this way I could block the xerces and ant-optional jars and add the needed ones by hand.

Not exactly practical, but usable.

TIA
