-------------------------------------

8 years, 155 votes, 5 duplicates and 4 patches later I wonder: should I be proud or embarrassed that the issue is still unresolved?

> 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.
