Vincenzo Vitale commented on MNG-3832: -------------------------------------- +1 > Allow wildcards in dependency exclusions > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3832 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3832 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Paul Gier > Fix For: 2.x > > > I would like to be able to exclude all transitive dependencies from a certain > dependencies. This is especially useful when depending on an artifact with a > classifier that may not have the same dependencies as the main artifact. > Currently the only way to do this is by excluding each dependency > individually which requires significant effort and is prone to becoming out > of date. The following syntax is one possibility. > Exclude all transitive dependencies > {code} > <exclusion> > <groupId>*</groupId> > </exclusion> > {code} > Exclude transitive dependencies with the groupId "org.company" > {code} > <exclusion> > <groupId>org.company</groupId> > <artifactId>*</artifactId> > </exclusion> > {code} -- 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
