Automatically importing dependencies of dependencies is a great feature.
But users have to know the dependency hierarchy, or we cannot exclude the
artifacts exactly.

And I'm puzzled that why can exclude some dependencies of dependencies?
If a jar(artifact) is a dependency of our project's direct dependency, it
means that we need it, but exclude it?

a cup of Java, cheers!
