Description

This seems to be due to the exclusion of junit (3.7.1) as an incorrect depency of commons-lang:

<dependency>
<groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>

<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

Accoring to the article below, the exclusion from common-lang should not affect anything else. So the seperate declaration for junit 3.8.1 should not be wiped out by this. Removing the exclusion gets my build working though.

Looks like a maven bug, can I suggest putting exclusions in the assembly descriptors instead?
