[SOLVED] How to exclude transitive dependency in ant build using maven task for ant?

How to exclude transitive dependency in ant build using maven task for ant?

How to exclude transitive dependency in maven task for ant. Scope: runtime and provided doesn't seem to be of any help in this case. This is my build.xml

<artifact:remoteRepository url="https://mynexus/" id="remote.repository"/>

<artifact:dependencies filesetId="dependency.fileset" useScope="runtime">
     <dependency version="1.7.0" artifactId="commons-beanutils" groupId="commons-beanutils"/>
</artifact:dependencies>

commons-beanutils has dependency commons-logging that I need to exclude.

Solution

maven-ant supports this exclusion, please RTFM https://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/reference.html#exclusion

just as

<artifact:dependencies filesetId="dependency.fileset" useScope="runtime">
  <artifact:dependency version="1.7.0" artifactId="commons-beanutils" groupId="commons-beanutils">
    <exclusion groupId="commons-logging" artifactId="commons-logging">
  </<artifact:dependency>
</artifact:dependencies>

But I didn't find any supports for exclude some dependencies defined by a pom file
