I work now on build for a huge project. It builds some big packages out of modules, that I need to unpack later to a folder. I use mvn dependency plugin for it. The issue that although I specify <excludeTransitive>true</excludeTransitive> I still see tons of modules that are downloaded from binary repo. Is there a clean solution to it?

It's generally a pain to block transitive dependencies in maven. There are different ways of doing it manually one dependency at a time, which is a lot of work for large projects, but haven't come across any simple flag that would allow it on a larger scale. If you do find something, would be interested to learn about it. – t0mppa Dec 01 '13 at 14:14

If I understand correctly, you want to build your individual modules without the transitive dependencies ? – Saif Asif Dec 01 '13 at 17:07
