[jira] Commented: (MNG-2163) Allow plugin dependencies to be excluded

["Ceki Gulcu (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2163?page=comments#action_61678 ] 

Ceki Gulcu commented on MNG-2163:
---------------------------------

Let me add a few words of my own.

Jetty's POM file declares "slf4j-simple" as a dependency. However,
some users of Jetty would like to override this dependency, for
example with "slf4j-log4j12".

Is this possible with Maven?

> Need to add an exclusions block in the POM for plugins.  The use-case is excluding slf4j-simple
