How to exclude commons-logging from a scala/sbt/slf4j project?
Solution 1:
Heiko's approach will probably work, but will lead to none of the dependencies of the 3rd party lib to be downloaded. If you only want to exclude a specific one use exclude.
libraryDependencies += "foo" % "bar" % "0.7.0" exclude("org.baz", "bam")
or
... excludeAll( ExclusionRule(organization = "org.baz") ) // does not work with generated poms!
Solution 2:
For sbt 0.13.8 and above, you can also try the project-level dependency exclusion:
excludeDependencies += "commons-logging" % "commons-logging"
