Here's my generic problem:
My project P depends on A which depends on B which depends on C which depends on version 1.0.1 of D.
There's a problem with version 1.0.1 of D and I want to force the use of another module. I don't know how to declare this in my project's POMs since I haven't added a dependency on D directly. It's C which declared the dependency on D.
Important: In this case, not only the version is changed, but the group & artifact as well. So it's not just a matter of overriding the version of the dependency, but rather, of excluding a module and including another one.
In the concrete case, D is StAX whose 1.0.1 has a bug. According to the notes in the bug, "the problems were solved by replacing the stax-api-1.0.1 (maven GroupId = stax) by stax-api-1.0-2 (maven GroupId = javax.xml.stream)" so I'm trying just that.
Thus, D = stax:stax-api:jar:1.0.1 and C = org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0
I'm using maven 2.0.9 in case it matters.
Output of mvn dependency:tree"

In my project's POM I have the following dependency on "A":
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi</artifactId>
<version>3.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.6</version>
</dependency>
Thanks in advance.
