["Henry Hoendervangers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Henry Hoendervangers updated MNG-5866:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
we need a way to replace a transitive dependency. It is needed because the dependency:analyze will throw a warning if you exclude the transitive dependency and declare another dependency to replace the transitive dependency. For example: 
{{monospaced}}
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-tools</artifactId>
   <scope>test</scope>
   <exclusions>
       <exclusion>
           <groupId>freemarker</groupId>
           <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
   <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
</dependency>
this will cause dependency:analyze to throw a warning on the org.freemarker:freemarker dependency because it's unused.

possible sollution:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-tools</artifactId>
   <scope>test</scope>
   <exclusions>
       <exclusion>
           <groupId>freemarker</groupId>
           <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
           <replace>
              <groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
              <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
           </replace>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

org.freemarker:freemarker can now be marked as transitive.

</dependency>

org.freemarker:freemarker can now be marked as transitive.
