In your ivy xml, you would have something like this:

<dependency org=3D"org.apache.ivy" name=3D"ivy" conf=3D"your_conf->core(mas=
ter),httpclient(optional)">
  <exclude org=3D"org.apache.commons" module=3D"commons-compress" />
  <!-- other excludes for "vfs", etc. -->
</dependency>

The maven scope mapping does not provide a separate name to use for "httpcl=
ient" and "pack200" groups.  But you can remove the extras.  It might be ea=
sier to add the org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient dependency instead of =
excluding all others.

Yes, if the ivy.xml was published you could do this more directly.

I don't believe this does what I want.

Ivy has this in its dependency section

        <dependency org=3D"org.apache.httpcomponents" name=3D"httpclient" r=
ev=3D"${httpclient.version}" conf=3D"default,httpclient->runtime,master"/>
        <dependency org=3D"org.apache.commons" name=3D"commons-compress"
                    rev=3D"${commons-compress.version}"
                    conf=3D"default,pack200->default,optional">
          <exclude org=3D"com.github.luben"/>
          <exclude org=3D"org.brotli"/>
          <exclude org=3D"org.tukaani"/>
        </dependency>
        ...

both httpclient and commoms-compress end up as optional in the Maven
POM.

As a project that depends on Ivy I only want to pull in the dependencies
required to use httpclient but not pack200 as I know nothing is going to
use pack200 (or vfs, or jsch or ...). With an Ivy file I can say
default->httpclient . Can I achieve the same with a POM alone?
