You can exclude the rome's transitive jdom dependency like this (from the top of my head): <dependency> <groupId>rome</groupId> <artifactId>rome</artifactId> <version>0.9</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>jdom</groupId> <artifactId>jdom</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> As far as I know Maven does not automatically resolve version conflicts between (transitive) dependencies, you just end up with both versions of the jar.
