[jira] (MNG-2315) Add option to exclude all transitive dependencies for a particular one

["Samuel Langlois (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=300608#comment-300608 ] 

Samuel Langlois commented on MNG-2315:
--------------------------------------

Like the 134 other people who voted for it, I'd love to see this implemented. 
There are quite a few bad poms in Central, especially for old artifacts, and they will be here forever.

In case you haven't seen it on MNG-3832, a workaround is to use wildcard on exclusion:
{code}
<exclusion>
  <groupId>*</groupId>
  <artifactId>*</artifactId>
</exclusion>
{code}
It works in Maven 3, although it produces a nasty warning about threatened build stability and support in future versions.

I guess the fix could simply be to remove this warning... :-)
