Pete Muir commented on MNG-4530:
--------------------------------
Project Jigsaw calls this "provides"
"The clause provides P indicates that a dependency on module P by some other
module may be satisfied by module M."
> Add alias feature for moved/renamed dependencies

> Key: MNG-4530
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4530
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Dependencies
> Reporter: Paul Gier
>
> There should be an option to link multiple dependency groupId/artifactIds so
> that the dependency resolver knows they refer to the same artifact. There
> are many dependencies that get renamed to a new groupId/artifactId. This
> causes problems because many times the old groupId/artifactId is still pulled
> in transitively from other projects. Currently, the only way to do this is
> with a tedious combination of <excludes> tags and enforcer rules. It would
> be much simpler if there were a mechanism in the pom and dependency manager
> to treat two IDs as the same dependency.
