When we manually exclude the hibernate 3 jars from the maven repository, the metadata still lists the 3.x version. If possible the exclude should update the metadata in addition to removing the version.

Also the current hibernate 3 exclude is basically a hack which tricks the script into thinking that the artifactId is 3.6.5.Final-redhat-1.

org.hibernate.hibernate-core:3.6.5.Final-redhat-1:

Maybe as part of this fix we need to have a better way to exclude specific versions of artifacts. Something like this?

org.hibernate:hibernate-core:3.6.5.Final-redhat-1
