Hi Kevin, Strange question: the purpose of Maven Ant Tasks is specifically to get transitive dependency! :)
But if that's really what you want, I see 2 ways of doing it: 1. use exclusions to exclude transitive dependencies you don't want <dependency groupId="org.springframework" artifactId="spring" version="2.0.7" scope="provided"> <exclusion groupId="" artifactId=""/> </dependency> 2. don't use Maven Ant Tasks but simply Ant's get task <get src="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/spring/2.0.7/spring-2.0.7.jar"; dest="bogus"/> regards, Hervé Le lundi 03 décembre 2007, Kevin Stembridge a écrit : > Hi all, > I'm trying to use the dependencies ant task to copy artifacts to a given > location but I'm having trouble excluding transitive dependencies. > > My understanding from the documentation is that I should be able to use > the following XML to copy an artifact, without its transitives.
