             Summary: Exclude unused transitive dependencies
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-772
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-772
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.6
            Reporter: César Soto Valero


Hello. I noticed that *{{poi-ooxml}}* and *{{postgresql}}*, which are transitive dependencies induced via *{{dbunit}}*, are actually not used.

Looking at the Maven dependency tree of the project, we can see that these dependencies may create conflicts:
{code:java}
.  .  .
 |  +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:jar:3.17:test
 |  |  +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.17:test
 |  |  |  +- (commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.10:test - omitted for conflict with 1.13)
 |  |  |  \- org.apache.commons:commons-collections4:jar:4.1:test
 |  |  +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-schemas:jar:3.17:test
 |  |  |  \- org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.6.0:test
 |  |  |     \- stax:stax-api:jar:1.0.1:test
 |  |  \- com.github.virtuald:curvesapi:jar:1.04:test
 |  \- postgresql:postgresql:jar:8.4-701.jdbc3:test
.  .  .{code}
Hence, It is a good practice to exclude these dependencies from the {{pom to avoid conflicts, to make the library smaller and the dependency tree clearer.}}
