How to exclude a dependency from parent's project in Maven?

Question

For example, I have 2 Maven projects. One is \"project-parent\". The other is \"project-child\". Obviously, \"project-child\" is the sub project of \"project-parent\".

Answer 1

I have managed to exclude a transient dependency from a parent pom. By re-importing it in and then setting exclusion por the dependency I wanted out. like this eg.:

    
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-test
            ${spring-boot.version}
            test
            
                
                    junit
                    junit
