Provide the ability to globally exclude a dependency
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1607
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1607
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Components: maven-core
Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Barry Kaplan
Some dependencies you simply never want downloaded no matter what. For example,
when using jdk 1.5 xml-apis.jar causes headaches. But many projects require
this dependency.
Therefore it would be nice to support a 'never' download setting. Maybe:
<dependencyManagement>
<excludedDependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
</dependency>
</excludedDependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
(Or is there another way to do this now?)
