I know it does, but it does not support "configurations" of dependencies like I believe Ivy does. If you have a project X that can either depend on Y or Z depending on what you like, you would need to declare both dependencies optional in Maven altough it will not work if you omit both. You need to choose between Y or Z. This cannot be easily expressed with Maven2.
regards, Wim 2006/5/22, Geoffrey De Smet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Maven 2 supports optional dependencies. You can even exclude non-optional transitive dependencies.
