Exclude parent project dependencies from child project classpath

I have parent project that defines dependency on some local libraries for all its child projects:

subprojects {
    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: '../somelib', include: '*.jar')
    }
}

Can I exclude some jars (or even whole library folder) from parent's dependencies in child project without touching parent build.gradle?

gradle java

Maybe this helps you. Add this in your child's project build.gradle 

configurations {
    all.collect { configuration ->
        configuration.exclude   group: 'org.springframework.ws', module: 'spring-ws-core'
    }
}

I had to deal with some spring dependencies, and well, I fixed it that way. I don't like it though, but all comes down to the way I have set up my projects.
