排除从父 pom 继承的子 pom 中的依赖项

Question

In my parent pom xml file I have declared some dependencies that are used in most of the children's poms.

However, in one child pom, I don't use these dependencies and I want to find a way in order to exclude them (in order not to be seen as unused dependencies).

Right now, in de dependencies section of child pom I have nothing? Any ideas?

Answer 1

AFAIK there is no way to exclude them.

You can, though, define exceptions in the maven dependency plugin so that they do not appear as "unused". For that, see
