Exclude reactor projects

[bmarwell]

Scenario prerequisites

• multi-module reactor project
• dependencies within modules

Story

As a lazy developer, I do not want to define ${project.version} for reactor artifacts in each pom file again and again. Instead, I will define all modules and versions in my dependencyManagement of the reactor project's root pom like so:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>reactor.group.id</groupId>
    <artifactId>moduleA</artifactId>
    <version>${project.version}</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencyManagement>

Expected behaviour

Those dependencies from the reactor will be left as-is.

Actual behaviour

This plugin will pick those managed dependencies up and try to downgrade them to the latest version available in the release repository.
