The method for overriding the reliance on an sbt plugin is by using the libraryDependencies or libraryManagement settings.

Suppose we have an sbt plugin, my-sbt-plugin, that is adding a specific library version to the project. We can override this reliance by adding the following code to the build.sbt file:

libraryDependencies += "com.example" % "my-library" % "1.0.0"

This will replace the library version added by the my-sbt-plugin with the specified version of my-library.

Additionally, we can also use the exclude method to prevent the sbt plugin from adding a specific library to the project:

libraryDependencies += "com.example" % "my-library" % "1.0.0" exclude("com.example", "my-dependency")

This will exclude the my-dependency library added by the my-sbt-plugin and add the specified version of my-library to the project.
