• Type: Bug

Description

Here's the situation: My pom declares a dependency on artifact B, but excludes the transitive dependency on C. This same pom also directly depends on C. When getting the dependencies, C does not show up in the list, even though it is a direct dependency. Here is the relevant section of the pom:

<project ...>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>groupB</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactB</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>groupC</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactC</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>groupC</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactC</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

Then using that ant task:
<artifact:dependencies
pomrefid="maven.project"
pathId="compile.classpath"
verbose="true"
useScope="compile" />
