-----------------------------------------------------

I have done some additionally testing and found that Ivy is indeed resolving these as expected, but since I was not using configurations, the excludes made were being included in the the ivy:cachefileset tag in Ant.  The source is b/c the ivy:cachefileset tag defaults to the "\*" configuration when none is supplied.  This configuration seems to ignore global excludes.  My issue was resolve once I set the conf attribute on the cachefileset tag.  If this is not a bug, then the documentation should clearly indicate that a "\*" configuration overrides global exclude declarations.

> When declaring a global exclusion, the module is excluded only from locally declared dependencies, and not their transitive dependencies.  The only way to exclude a module from an entire project, is to declare the exclusion locally for every dependency that either directly, or through a transitive dependency, relies on the module.  A detailed explanation of this issue can be found on the mailing lists here (first two posts explain the issue more thoroughly):
