> Some dependencies you simply never want downloaded no matter what. For example, when using jdk 1.5 xml-apis.jar causes headaches. But many projects require this dependency. 
> Therefore it would be nice to support a 'never' download setting. Maybe:
>     <dependencyManagement>
>         <excludedDependencies>
>             <dependency>
>                 <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
>                 <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
>             </dependency>
>         </excludedDependencies>
>     </dependencyManagement>
>  
> (Or is there another way to do this now?)
