I'm not the guy who uploaded castor 1.0 on the maven repo, and I'm also not the guy who used it in the project. I came later and have to maintain the project now.
Do you think I should contribute an empty POM just to ensure no-one can latter contribute one with some (maybe) unexpected dependencies ? A better solution IMHO should be to have an option for a dependency in my POM to excludes all transitive dependencies. The current <exclusion> elements require to list dependencies. With such a feature, a project that has legacy reference on a dependency with no POM can simply set no-transitivity to be reproductible in any case. Many artifacts in the repo don't have POMs (from m1 -> m2 migration ?)
