If you want the jar file of module A working at runtime, how is that possible without the transitive libraries? Could you change the module to include those dependencies only at compile time? Then they won't be transitive at runtime.

Regards Vishal. -----Original Message----- From: amit kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 1:53 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: How to avoid transitive Dependencies getting packaged Vishal: you can use <dependency> <groupId>A</groupId> <artifactId>A</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId></groupId> <artifactId><artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusions> </dependency> in exclusion you can specify the dependencies of A. As per my knowledge there would be one exclusion tag for each dependency. This is the only method I know by now. Nick: I am using Maven 2.0.7. And surprisingly I have used mvn site also to track the dependencies, but commons-logging-1.0.4 appears no where but straight in the WEB-INF folder. Not able to figure out where is it coming from.
