Jason,
I believe that your 2nd pastebin output reflects a bug in the gradle
mechanism for determining dependencies.
The problem that you have referred to is that you have marked 2 maven
plugins to be excluded from the transitive dependencies of
abdera-client, because you are seeing the plugins referenced as if they
were members of its transitive dependency set. If you look at the gradle
tree listing carefully you will see that the gradle has assigned jaxen
the version range of jaxen:jaxen:1.1-beta-9 -> 1.1.3, and the plugins
are listed as dependencies of jaxen.
When I forget about gradle and use the maven-dependency-plugin:2.8 and
execute "mvn dependency:tree" with a pom that I simplified to just the
issue that you have reported and which you can find below, I don't see
the plugins listed as dependencies of jaxen so they do not appear. And I
see that the dependency plugin has chosen jaxen 1.1.1 rather than a
version range. The pom of jaxen 1.1.1 doesn't list any plugins as its
dependents, though I did find at least 1 reference to one of the plugins
as a dependency of jaxen's in the pom for 1.1.3. My sense is that you
are seeing 1 or more gradle bugs at work here.
The pom dependencies look like the following when I trace them:
abdera-client has a dependency on abdera-parser
abdera-parser has a parent pom abdera in which the dependency-management
section chooses jaxen 1.1.1, not a range
abdera-parser has a dependency on jaxen which is referenced without a
version, so the parent (abdera pom) version of 1.1.1 ought to be in force
jaxen 1.1.1 pom has no transitive dependencies on any plugins. It does
declare/use plugins within <build><plugins> but that doesn't count.
I did include the the 4 non-plugin dependencies of abdera-client in the
exclusions list, and all of them have been excluded.
The results of the dependency:tree run appear 1st followed by the pom
that I used. Please notice that I commented out the exclusions for the
plugins and they are still not being listed.
As you can see from the dependency tree's graph below, the gradle report
is simply in error.
Hope that this helps.

I have the following POM http://pastebin.com/P4TvzqJn but my exclusion for
<artifactId>abdera-client</artifactId> are not being respected. Actually
only 2 of them are not
the 2 not working are maven-plugins and maven-plugins
they are coming down anyways
see http://pastebin.com/c59HM8Bj
what am I missing
I have altered the POM but I cleared my local cache and refreshed
dependencies
