Is there a syntactic way in a pom file to exclude a dependency of a transitive dependency.
For example, if A has a dependency B and B has a dependency C and C has a dependency on D, a way to exclude dependency D when compiling A.
Exclusions for a dependency only seem to go one level deep.
How I have accomplished this in the past is to include dependency C in A's pom and then add the exclusion for D in C's dependency declaration. Is this the recommended way?
回答1:
You can add an <exclusions> element for D to the dependency B in the POM of A. Exclusions work recursively on transitive dependencies.
A good way to do this for a complex project is to use an <dependencyManagement> element in the parent POM which excludes anything you don't want to see anywhere.
