In case of the ejb-client this is, well, suboptimal ;-) You have two possibilities: 1/ Use a common parent POM (note, this does not have to be necessarily in the parent directory, you can handle it as any other artifact) with a depMgmnt section that contains both the EJB and the EJB client. For the client you define additionally the exclusions. Then you're able to declare a dependency to the client without repeating the exclusions, because they get "mixed in" from the parent's depMgmnt section. 2/ A different approach is to create a separate artifact for the client. Use the dependency plugin to unpack the EJB and configure the jar plugin to include only the necessary classes. In the dependency section you declare the EJB with the appropriate exclusions.
