Why is SBT NOT excluding these libraries despite using excludes?

Question

Despite doing the following, sbt is still grabbing lift-json. Why?

\"net.liftweb\" %% \"lift-mapper\" % \"2.6-M4\" % \"compile\" excludeAll(ExclusionRule(\"net.l         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps there are some other libraries depend on it. You can find those libs by using the sbt-dependency-graph plugin. Or simply exclude it from all the dependencies:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  ......
).map(_.excludeAll(ExclusionRule("net.liftweb", "lift-json")))
