How to exclude commons-logging from a scala/sbt/slf4j project?

Question

My scala/sbt project uses grizzled-slf4j and logback. A third-party dependency uses Apache Commons Logging.

With Java/Maven, I would use jcl-over-slf4j and logback-c

Answer 1

Add intransitive your 3rd party library dependency, e.g.

libraryDependencies += "foo" %% "bar" % "1.2.3" intransitive
