Good day, You can turn off transitive dependencies of a direct dependency via the exclusions tag ( see [1] ). However, that may be too troublesome if you want to turn it off completely since you have declare each transitive dependency to exclude from each direct dependency.
To know what dependencies are derived, you can use the -X option ( i.e. mvn install -X ) and view the debug logs, do an mvn site and check the dependency reports, or if your mvn site takes too long to finish ( i.e. creates other reports such as javadoc ), do a mvn project-info-reports:dependencies ( which will produce the dependency reports only ). The best approach however for you would probably to declare all those dependencies on your project. Maven will always prefer the direct dependency over the transitive ones. The more "direct" a dependency is, the higher its priority ( see [2] ).
