Jean-Noel Rouvignac updated MNG-1977:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: global_excls_it-test_v2.patch
                global_excls_maven3_v2.patch

Hello,

I gave a go at this new feature following 
Rob Elliot's idea of using a 
<scope>excluded</scope>. And it works a treat for me.

I uploaded the maven changes + integration test as patches.

Thanks,
Jean-Noel

> 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.
