 You can create a Maven `pom` packaging type project that deploys a configuration XML to your Maven repository.  Then use an `import` to allow you to change banned dependencies without making changes to each individual project.  Just like with the `version` notation in the `includes` and `excludes` elements, your `import` `artifact` element supports a version range.  This way the latest banned dependencies can be side-loaded into all projects.  This means previously functioning builds may eventually start failing.  That is by design in this scenario.

 ## Examples
 
-The recommended us of this plugin is for its use across whole organizations.  First, you will want a simple Maven project that is referenced by all other Maven projects.  That simple project will declare the banned artifacts and potentially purge existing ones.  See the `examples/ban-config` project for a full example.
