> The example that everybody understands : how to exclude commons-logging from dependencies ?  
> * explicitly exclude it from all transitive dependencies :
> {code}
> <dependency>
>   <groupId>commons-configuration</groupId>
>   <artifactId>commons-configuration</artifactId>
>   <exclusions>
>      <exclusion>
>         <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
>         <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
>       </exclusion>
>     </exclusions>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> * use the [Version 99 Does Not Exist|http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/2007/10/announcement-version-99-does-not-exist.html] workaround.
> The best solution would be to add a section to the pom, for example :
> {code}
> <dependencies>
>   <exclusions>
>      <exclusion>
>         <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
>         <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
>       </exclusion>
>     </exclusions>
> </dependencies>
> {code}
