    Description

      Some dependencies you simply never want downloaded no matter what. For example, when using jdk 1.5 xml-apis.jar causes headaches. But many projects require this dependency.

      Therefore it would be nice to support a 'never' download setting. Maybe:

      <dependencyManagement>
      <excludedDependencies>
      <dependency>
      <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
      <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      </excludedDependencies>
      </dependencyManagement>

      (Or is there another way to do this now?)
