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.

Maven 2 supports optional dependencies.

You can even exclude non-optional transitive dependencies.
