We need convention about libraries and frameworks we use in our team. It will be best if we just type somewhere something like "allowed to use org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons:jaxws-maven-plugin:2.3" and then this dependency and all transitive dependencies is allowed automatically. Which repository and which capability supports it? I try procurement capability of nexus, but it works with already loaded artifacts and not allows/disallows transitive dependencies(IMHO nexus procurement implementation is just not user-friendly point of view). I also try routing capability of nexus - i make "block all but ..."( ((?!plugins).)* ) rule, but seems that only one such rule allowed.
Suggest using the Maven Enforcer Rules plugin.
