Well I guess the enforcer Thing should be a good Option.

I was already telling the People to exclude and manually include the new 
artifacts. So I guess I'll still stick to that and extend my Suggestion to add 
an enforcer rule to notify users of such Problems. 

Also I knew that changing the groupId would not be completely painless, but I 
didn't want to force People to continue to call Flex artifacts com.adobe.flex 
as the guys at Apache are doing the good and hard work. It's more a Thing of 
ideals than technical neccessity :-)

Think some sort of "artifact-transformer" mechanism in Maven would be really 
cool ("Map the following groupId to otherGroupId"). But I guess something like 
that would fit into the same drawer as the which to hace a 
"configuration-check" mechanism that allows a plugin to validate the 
configuration used (Would really like to implement some validator and 
"best-practice" validator component guiding users on how to use the plugin)

I don't think that will work. The "bad" deps are still used in compile time
and only not used in runtime.

The correct solution (until there are new releases that don't pull in the
"bad" transitive deps) is to excluded them. And that probably can't be
automated in any other way than providing means to detect them (the
enforcer rule).

What you could do is try this and release a beta or something and see what
sort of problems people run into. Changing coordinates is always a problem.

My two cents,
