     * How the test project is set up:
     *
     * 1. dependencyManagement lists dependencies on a & b,
     *    with an exclusion on c in b.
     * 2. the child project lists a dependency on project a only
     * 3. a depends on b (which is transitive to the child project),
     *    and b depends on c.
     *
