[M2] Globally exclude sub dependencies
Hi, I'm a maven newbie and want to globally exclude sub dependencies from
being built into my war.
Lets say my war depends on artifactA and artifactB with a scope of compile.
artifactA depends on log4j
artifactB depends on the servlet api
I want to include artifactA and artifactB in the war but don't want to
include log4j or the servlet api because they are provided by the container
(jboss).
I realise I can do this using an <exclusions> element inside my
<dependency>s but this requires me to exclude log4j from A and servlet from
B.
This gets more complicated when I depend on many more artifacts with many
more dependencies.
I'd like a way to globally exclude log4j and servlet from all
dependencies... is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Lance.

Yep, thanks... call it what you like but when it's in a <dependency> tag, i
tend to call it a dependency :)
Cheer,
Lance.

Rather than think of it as "adding a dependency", think of it as
declaring what your container environment provides.
If your container really does provide log4j and servlet-api, then it is
entirely reasonable to tell maven about that.

Ah... got ya...
Add a log4j dependency to my project even though i don't reference it
directly
artifactA.scope=compile
log4j.scope=provided
Thanks.

Please just try it! We understand.
The pom will pick your re-declaration of log4j/provided as
"overriding" the log4j/compile in artifactA.

I'm not sure if you understand.
artifactA is required so I specify a scope of "compile"
Since artifactA depends on log4j, it automagically brings that into the jar
too which I don't want.

Try redeclaring the dependency with scope=provided.

You already said the magic word -- "provided".
Specify the artifacts you do not want included with
<scope>provided</scope> and they should not be included in your WAR.
