Maven-不包括传递依赖项

Question

I am trying to exclude transitive dependency using following in the pom file

 <dependency>
      <groupId>xxxxx</groupId>
      <artifactId>xxxxxx</artifactId>
       <exclusions>
          <exclusion>
            <groupId>yyyyyyy</groupId>
            <artifactId>yyyyyyy</artifactId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

where xxxxxx is the project I need. I am trying to avoid the transitive dependent project yyyyyy, that comes with it as it conflicts with the other version of the same project I already have as dependency.

When i build my project with this configuration and refresh eclipse, the project yyyyyyy-version.jar still shows in my classpath entry. I have to manually delete that classpath entry to make it work.

Please guide what am i doing wrong here. How to specify the exclusion in pom file so that I don't get this classpath entry.Thanks.

Update - I am not having any problem in the build but while i try to run the application , it find a particular parameter in 2 versions of a project - The desired one and the undesired one coming as a transitive dependency.

Perform mvn dependency:tree and analyze who has this transitive dependency too. Currently, there is no global exclude feature but an appropriate JIRA issue exists.
