Hi all, is there a way to specify in my pom.xml that i don't want a certain artifact? I depend on some libraries, which in turn depend on something (which in turn depend on something) that I don't want, because I declare some other artifact in my pom.xml.
A concrete example: I don't want that the artifact "xerces" is imported in my project because I declare to depend on "xercesImpl" which ships newer libraries but with the same namespaces. I guess I would need an "exclude transitive dependency at all", either globally or from this and that artifact. I saw the <exclusions> tag, but it forces me to be very verbose and have exact control on what is required by a dependency. I hope I have been clear, and thanks in advance for any help, -- Alessio Pace.
