Overwrite exclusion with non-exclusion in child POM - spring

If I have an exclusion in my parent POM, something like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-annotations</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
How would I get rid of that exclusion or unexclude in my child POM whatever I've excluded via parent POM?
I've tried an empty <exclusions> tag, hoping it would overwrite the entirety of the exclusion (with now none) coming from the parent, but it doesn't seem to be working:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<exclusions>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Is there any way to do that?

Just figured it out,
just include the dependency in the child POM, two negatives make a positive
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-annotations</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
In fact the first dependency doesn't even have to be restated, just the ones explicitly excluded in the parent POM.

I have tried to update spring-plugin-core to 2.0.0-RELEASE but this time I get the following error:
***************************

Description:

Also I check this.
I think there is a conflict on spring-plugin-core
How can fix this?
Cause
When this error is displayed:
The following method did not exist:
'org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry.of(java.util.List)'
It means spring-plugin-core 1.2.0 is in effect. This is good for springfox-swagger2 v2.9.2, however, some other components can't find PluginRegistry.of(java.util.List) in spring-plugin-core, because it is defined in a later version.
When this error is displayed:
The following method did not exist:
'org.springframework.plugin.core.Plugin org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry.getPluginFor(java.lang.Object, org.springframework.plugin.core.Plugin)'
It means spring-plugin-core 2.0.0 is in effect. This time, springfox-swagger2 v2.9.2 runs into problem because PluginRegistry.getPluginFor(java.lang.Object, org.springframework.plugin.core.Plugin) is removed from this version.
Solution
You may resolve this issue by using the snapshot version of springfox library. It has been upgraded to use the newer version of spring-plugin-core.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
Please add the repository definition in order to use this snapshot version:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jcenter-snapshots</id>
<name>jcenter</name>
<url>http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Please also replace #EnableSwagger2 with #EnableSwagger2WebMvc.
Spring Plugins version is low, add this to pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-plugin-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
you can find similar issue here: https://github.com/springfox/springfox/issues/2968
In my case I just upgrade my swagger version, and it worked.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
I faced the same problem and this is what worked for me-
1.Use HAL explorer instead of HAL browser
2.Update springfox dependency version
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-rest-hal-explorer</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
<version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>
either run maven dependency tree command to see that which two jars are included and remove one or an easier way is to delete .m2 folder and re import the dependencies it will fix the issue.

Why isn't maven including a needed transitive dependency?

I am converting our Jenkins Freestyle build to Declarative Pipeline mode. I am using the same POM files.
But whenever i run the pipeline build, i see that the desired war is missing a transitive dependency. The Freestyle build includes that missing dependency however.
The Main parent POM includes:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.dozer</groupId>
<artifactId>dozer</artifactId>
<version>5.5.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
The second parent includes section below, :
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.dozer</groupId>
<artifactId>dozer</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
For both build processes, the dozer artifact is contained in the war file. But dozer contains a dependency of its own:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-beanutils</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
It is this commons-beanutils that I am missing from my final war when i do the Pipeline build. Since I am using the same POM files for both build processes, how can this be possible?
Please help

Can child poms inherit dependency exclusions defined in the parent pom?

I'm not sure if this is support by Maven or not. I appreciate any help I can get.
I have a parent pom that defines a dependency and an exclusion. I can't change the parent pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<!-- this exclusion needs to be inherited by all children -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Then in the child pom, I have a need to exclude a different dependency from that same dependency in the parent. Like so
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<!-- this exclusion is just for the child -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
But if I do that, the child will have the slf4j jar excluded (correctly), but it will NOT have the spring-cloud-config-server jar excluded, unless if I restate the parent exclusion in the child declaration of that dependency.
I realize I could just copy it, but that's messy, and I realize that it would be easy to push the child's exclusion up to the parent, but then I'd be forcing that exclusion on all the other children.
What I'd like is for Maven to merge the dependency exclusion information when the same dependency is declared differently in the parent and child.
Is that possible?
In your parent pom:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<!-- this exclusion needs to be inherited by all children -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
In your child pom:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<!-- this exclusion is just for the child -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Effect of "overriding" exclusions in maven dependency

How are exclusions in the parent pom affected by exclusions in the child pom? Are the exclusions additive? Here's an example:
....
<dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>${hibernate.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement
....
In Child pom -
.....
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>cglib</groupId>
<artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
....
Ultimately, are both commons-collections and cglib excluded? If so, is there any way I can "bring back" commons-collections for the child project?
Yes, Maven's exclusions are additive. You'll have both exclusions. There is no way to cancel some inherited exclusion other than just re-add it as a new local dependency.
And by the way, it is about 1-2 minutes to verify this at your own computer...

dependency mechanism ( overriding transitive version )

I am trying to explicitly override a transitive dependencies version, but doesn't seem to work.
I have this in my projects pom
<!-- use no-commons-logging -->
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>99.0-does-not-exist</version>
</dependency>
<!-- no-commons-logging-api, if you need it -->
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging-api</artifactId>
<version>99.0-does-not-exist</version>
</dependency>
But, the first one doesn't seem to override the transitive dependencies version. I am not sure why ?
Here is the full POM
http://pastebin.com/TBP0YTZs
Here is the dependency tree
http://pastebin.com/VBdjiVcL
PS:
a) This is what I am trying to do
http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/2007/10/announcement-version-99-does-not-exist.html
Actually, there is much cleaner method to get rid of commons-logging once and for all:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1</version>
</dependency>
Based on: http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#excludingJCL
