It feels clearer than the 0.0 "hack". Notice, I am not against it, but I also do not have many arguments for it - I think the dev should simply exclude whats not neccessary/wanted. Its clear then from the pom and hard enough for any library developer to not to do it ;-) Ciao, Mario ... (leaving the scene through the left door ;-) )
