alternative and higher level configuration option to <exlusions>
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3564
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3564
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: General
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: manuel aldana
maven provides scope (test, runtime etc.) to filter certain dependencies.
never the less sometimes it is quite helpful to have a another configuration
option, where you decide what to include transitively or what kind of
dependency-set is relevant to your current project. using <exclusions>
configuration to accomplish this is often very verbose, non-standard and is
difficult to read (it is often not obvious what is meant with all these
exclusions).
as an example ivy includes such configuration meta-info approach (see
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/m2comparison.html). this feature would be nice
because when building releases one is more flexible.
