dependency:copy-dependencies and the exclude* parameters

[Steinar Bang <sb...@dod.no>]

Platform: Intel Pentium M, Ubuntu Dapper,
	  maven 2.0.4,
	  dependency plugin 2.0-alpha-1

I'm using dependency:copy-dependencies to copy an OSGi bundle, and its
depdencencies, and I'm trying, without success, to exclude some
dependencies from the list of copied files, using the exclude*
parameters listed in the documentation:
	http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html

The dependencies I'm trying to exclude, are this:
  <groupId>org.eclipse</groupId>
  <artifactId>osgi</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.2</version>
and this
  <groupId>org.eclipse.osgi</groupId>
  <artifactId>services</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.2</version>

I've tried using the <excludeArtifactIds> parameter and I've tried
using the <excludeGroupIds> parameter, and neither have had any
effect. 

I tried using <excludeScope>compile</excludeScope>, but that had the
effect that _no_ dependencies are copied.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?  Will the approach I'm
using not work?  Is it a bug in the plugin?

Thanx!

the pom.xml I'm attempting to use, follows:
