I need to exclude an artifact where I know the group ID, artifact ID

  • 0

I need to exclude an artifact where I know the group ID, artifact ID and version of what I want to exclude but how can I find out what dependencies in my pom have this particular artifact as a dependency. I’m using maven 2x, don’t see a way for global exclusions. Does anyone know how I can find out what the offending dependencies are without having to look at each one?

I’ve looked around and can’t find any answers.

    dependency:tree can help you here. From the Maven dependency plugin documentation:

    mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=commons-collections

    will tell you what is pulling in commons-collections:
