I have a project that needs the following Maven jibx plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jibx</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jibx-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
...
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Inside the jibx plugin pom, there is a xpp3 dependency which I want to exclude from my project build process (due to some reason I cannot have it inside my private repository).
Is there a way to config my pom.xml (not the plugin pom) to exclude that dependency?
EDIT: I tried to remove the xpp3 dependency from the plugin pom and the project could be built successfully, so I know the dependency is not mandatory.
