I'm trying to exclude transitive dependencies of a dependency. This works fine with 2.0.9, however it does not work with 2.1.0-M1.
Run mvn dependency:tree on the attached pom.xml with 2.0.9 and note how there is no javax.activation in the tree. Re-run with 2.1.0-M1 and note how javax.activation shows up in the dependencies tree.
See MNG-3769-debugging-info.zip
step 0:
created empty local repo directory /2.0.9-repo
created empty local repo directory /2.1.0-M1-repo
step 1: using maven 2.0.9 pointing to /2.0.9-repo, ran org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0:tree, goal completed
console capture is in step1-2.0.9-tree.txt
content listing of /2.0.9-repo is in step1-2.0.9-repo-contents.txt
step 2: using maven 2.1.0-M1 pointing to /2.1.0-M1-repo, ran org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0:tree, goal completed
console capture is in step2-2.1.0-M1-tree.txt
content listing of /2.1.0-M1-repo is in step2-2.1.0-M1-repo-contents.txt
step 3: using maven 2.1.0-M1 pointing to /2.0.9-repo, ran org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0:tree, goal failed
console capture is in step3-2.1.0-M1-tree.txt
content listing of /2.0.9-repo is in step3-2.0.9-repo-contents.txt
