Description David Simonek 2009-07-01 15:34:06 UTC 
According to VOC, users would like to see ability to exclude dependencies on some specific artifact shown in dependency
graph. Usually it is transitive dependency to some library of which user is sure he/she won't need. 

In Maven, it can be achieved by adding dependency exclusion POM element to relevant direct dependency parent(s). Such
action would appear in popup menu of specific artifact to be excluded.
