  1. POIs there anyway to exclude artifacts inherited from a parent POM?
    text
    copied!<p>Artifacts from dependencies can be excluded by declaring an <code>&lt;exclusions&gt;</code> element inside a <code>&lt;dependency&gt;</code> But in this case it's needed to exclude an artifact inherited from a parent project. An excerpt of the POM under discussion follows:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;project&gt; &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;test&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;jruby&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt; &lt;parent&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;base&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;es.uniovi.innova&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/parent&gt; &lt;dependencies&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;com.liferay.portal&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;ALL-DEPS&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;scope&gt;provided&lt;/scope&gt; &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;/dependencies&gt; &lt;/project&gt; </code></pre> <p><code>base</code> artifact, depends on <code>javax.mail:mail-1.4.jar</code>, and <code>ALL-DEPS</code> depends on another version of the same library. Due to the fact that <code>mail.jar</code> from <code>ALL-DEPS</code> exist on the execution environment, although not exported, collides with the <code>mail.jar</code> that exists on the parent, which is scoped as <code>compile</code>.</p> <p>A solution could be to rid off mail.jar from the parent POM, but most of the projects that inherit base, need it (as is a transtive dependency for log4j). So What I would like to do is to simply <strong>exclude parent's library from the child project</strong>, as it could be done if <code>base</code> was a dependency and not the parent pom:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>... &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;base&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;es.uniovi.innova&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;type&gt; &lt;exclusions&gt; &lt;exclusion&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;javax.mail&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;mail&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;/exclusion&gt; &lt;/exclusions&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; ... </code></pre>
