Are you sure module B doesn't has any other indirect reference to log4j through another dependency? If that is not the case, it seems like a bug to me. Could you open a JIRA issue and attach if possible a simple test scenario?

This is not expected and definitely not desired... does anyone have an idea why this may be happening? Module B's ivy.xml: <dependency org="mycompany" name="module-A" rev="latest.integration" branch="trunk" conf="run->*" transitive="true"/> Module A's ivy.xml: <dependency org="log4j" name="log4j" rev="1.2.8" transitive="false"/>
