Grzegorz Borkowski commented on MNG-3742:
-----------------------------------------

Yes you're right: artifactId and groupId were reversed. Very strange how did I get to such configuration - too long time to remember it now. But in fact, after fixing the pom, everything works.

> I create empty project with jar-type pom. I add dependency on log4j 1.2.15 (the most up-to-date version). Build fails, because log4j declares in its pom dependencies on some Sun librareis, which are not available for Maven to download. They should be marked optional in log4j pom, but they are not (they claim it will be fixed in 1.2.16, but it is not released yet). So I exclude dependienices, according to the document:
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dependency+Mechanism
> However, build still fails, as Maven still tries to download excluded libraries. This seems a bug in Maven.
> This is easilyt reproducable from comand-line, NetBeans or Eclipse.
> See my pom attached.
