Grzegorz Borkowski commented on MNG-3742: ----------------------------------------- Yes you're right: artifactId and groupId were reversed. Very strange how did I get to such configuration - too long time to remember it now. But in fact, after fixing the pom, everything works. > Exclusion of transitive dependiencies does not work > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3742 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3742 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.9 > Reporter: Grzegorz Borkowski > Attachments: pom.xml > > > I create empty project with jar-type pom. I add dependency on log4j 1.2.15 > (the most up-to-date version). Build fails, because log4j declares in its pom > dependencies on some Sun librareis, which are not available for Maven to > download. They should be marked optional in log4j pom, but they are not (they > claim it will be fixed in 1.2.16, but it is not released yet). So I exclude > dependienices, according to the document: > http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dependency+Mechanism > However, build still fails, as Maven still tries to download excluded > libraries. This seems a bug in Maven. > This is easilyt reproducable from comand-line, NetBeans or Eclipse. > See my pom attached. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
