Re: Global transitive depedency exclude
Currently after looking around i did not find any Global transitive dependency exclude in maven. So i used mvn dependency:tree and see where the jar that being pulled from and use excludes to main parent pom under dependencyManagement. chicagopooldude wrote: I am working on getting a war file from our project using maven, we initially had around 120+ jars in lib which have become cluttered that's one of the reasons to move to Maven.

Re: Global transitive depedency exclude
because there are times when two versions of jars are there in lib which causes problems while deployed war runs on server. Also I have seen I saw your follow up post and wanted to let you know one common way that two versions of jars end up in your war's lib directory... Suppose an artifact xyz was using groupId abc until version 2.0.4, and then switched over to com.abc for version 2.0.5 and above. Some dependencies might pull in abc:xyz:2.0.1 while others pull in com.abc:xyz:2.0.5. Maven does not realize those are different versions of the same artifact, so the usual dependency resolution process does not work as it should. The only way to deal with this is to analyze your dependency tree and prune the unwanted artifacts, which is just what you said you are doing. Another common way this happens is when you run mvn package repeatedly, and change versions of dependencies etc but then never run mvn clean so your /target folder is full of older build dependencies that are no longer being used. You should run mvn clean periodically to clean things up, or even better, use a continuous integration server (Hudson etc) that ensures your builds are clean every time they are performed.

RE: Global transitive depedency exclude
The war plugin doesn't support useTransitiveDependencies. It does, however, support packagingIncludes and packagingExcludes, which can be used to limit which files get placed into the WAR file.
