Eclipse IAM delegates on the Maven Embedder to calculate dependencies (and 
exclusions).

By some reason, the version we use is not properly handling your exclusion.

A workaround is to add the exclusion in the dependency management section 
of the pom (or a parent pom). Like this:

	<dependencyManagement>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<groupId>org.openqa.selenium.client-drivers</groupId>
				<artifactId>selenium-java-client-driver</artifactId>
				<version>1.0-beta-1</version>
				<exclusions>
					<exclusion>
						<groupId>org.openqa.selenium.server</groupId>
						<artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
					</exclusion>
				</exclusions>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
	</dependencyManagement>

You can then remove the <exclusions> from the <dependency>.

Hope this helps!
