----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
I believe we definitely have more cases like this one. Now you can go to each
library and set the exclusions by hand. However I think the original
dependencies and libraries were not properly setup because they were scattered
among different components and hand picked by different individuals. Having
automatic dependency resolution means you don't worry about what gets pulled.
Also the dependencies graph because of the huge number of libraries in OFBiz is
very complex. So I would recommend instead of trying to replicate what we had
before dependency management we instead focus on actually removing as many
libraries as we can. 229 libraries is a number I don't recall seeing in any
other project.
