Exclude dependencies globally

[re-thc]

Is it possible to exclude dependencies globally (or at least for that module)? It can be done in Gradle and Maven. The docs only explain about transitive dependencies.

An example use case is changing the logging provider in Spring. By default logback is included. You can transitively exclude it in spring-boot-starter but this starter is transitively included in most starters e.g. if you need web + security. It makes it very hard to exclude and track.

There is no explicit task for that. But you could just apply it to all dependencies like this:

def mvnDeps = super.mvnDeps().map(_.exclude("org" -> "artifactId"))

Btw, how do you exclude dependencies globally in Maven?
