Hi, with pom

```gradle
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/30e103cc03ecc44996da

```

, gradle didn’t exclude libs correctly - jline is included.

I suppose it is because org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:3.4.6 is in transitive dependency of two dependencies - org.apache.curator:curator-client:2.5.0 and org.apache.curator:curator-recipes:2.5.0 - and excludes are only on first of them in pom.xml. Maven evaluates dependencies in order of apperance in pom.xml, so it works.

mvn output:

```gradle
[INFO] org.gradle.test-exclude:test-exclude:pom:1.0
[INFO] +- org.apache.curator:curator-framework:jar:2.5.0:compile
[INFO] |

```

gradle output:

Additional note: I did work around by explicit exclude unwanted ones in gradle build, but it should not be needed.
