Description

The example that everybody understands : how to exclude commons-logging from dependencies ?

• explicitly exclude it from all transitive dependencies :

  <dependency>
    <groupId>commons-configuration</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-configuration</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
       <exclusion>
          <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
          <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
  </dependency>
  

• use the Version 99 Does Not Exist workaround.

The best solution would be to add a section to the pom, for example :

<dependencies>
  <exclusions>
     <exclusion>
        <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependencies>
