title: Overwrite exclusion with non-exclusion in child POM
body: <p>If I have an exclusion in my parent POM, something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
     &lt;groupId&gt;io.springfox&lt;/groupId&gt;
     &lt;artifactId&gt;springfox-swagger2&lt;/artifactId&gt;
     &lt;version&gt;1.2.3&lt;/version&gt;
     &lt;exclusions&gt;
        &lt;exclusion&gt;
           &lt;groupId&gt;io.swagger&lt;/groupId&gt;
           &lt;artifactId&gt;swagger-annotations&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;/exclusion&gt;
     &lt;/exclusions&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I get rid of that exclusion or unexclude in my child POM whatever I've excluded via parent POM?
  I've tried an empty <code>&lt;exclusions&gt;</code> tag, hoping it would overwrite the entirety of the exclusion (with now none) coming from the parent, but it doesn't seem to be working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
     &lt;groupId&gt;io.springfox&lt;/groupId&gt;
     &lt;artifactId&gt;springfox-swagger2&lt;/artifactId&gt;
     &lt;exclusions&gt;
     &lt;/exclusions&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do that?</p>
