Maven Plugin: Add excludes and includes functionality

Hello,

I have 2 questions in the same subject of ignoring dependencies used for tests :
1. Is it possible to ignore checking test dependencies ? since they won't be used in production so they aren't very important.
2. With suppression mechanism I don't see how I can pass a whole dependency to ignore (with its sub dependencies) so I don't have to list each and every subdependency in the xml file. This is useful in case of dependencies used for test

Thanks !
