> Currently there is an ability to specify an optional <exclusions> element as a child of <dependency> within a POM.   This has the effect of excluding one or more of a dependency's transitive dependencies.
> It is often the case that a dependency itself has many dependencies needed for compilation, but are not necessarily needed at runtime.
> This is a request to add an optional <inclusions> element as a child to <dependency> within a POM so that it is possible to express the instruction "Don't get any of the transitive dependencies except for X, Y, Z, etc."   For example:
> <dependency>
>     <groupId>springframework</groupId>
>     <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
>     <version>1.2.2</version>
>     <scope>compile</scope>
>     <inclusions>
>         <inclusion>
>             <groupId>hibernate</groupId>
>             <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
>         </inclusion>
>     </inclusions>
> </dependency>
> Brett Porter pointed out on the maven users mailing list that this approach could have some pitfalls, but that I should still submit the issue for discussion.
