Exclude all transitive dependencies of a single dependency

by

In Maven2, to exclude a single transitive dependency, I have to do something like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>sample.group</groupId>
  <artifactId>sample-artifactB</artifactId>
  <version>1</version>
   <exclusions>
     <exclusion>
       <groupId>sample.group</groupId>
       <artifactId>sample-artifactAB</artifactId>
     </exclusion>
   </exclusions>
</dependency>

The problem with this approach is that I have to do this for every transitive dependency contributed by sample-artifactB.

Is there a way to use some sort of wildcard to exclude all transitive dependencies at once instead of one-by-one?
