This method only works for artifacts you're downloading from the Maven
repository, not for anything created with Buildr.
Full transitive dependency support is planned for 1.4.

Is this still planned for version 1.4?
The #transitive method in lib/buildr/packaging/artifact.rb doesn't
have any rdoc and isn't mentioned on the web site or pdf. The method
itself hasn't changed since it was checked in over a year ago.
In https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/BUILDR-206 Assaf writes:
"Transitive is for people who work with POMs and eager to use
something until we work out transitive dependency support in the
framework."
Is there any documentation for this feature?
I'm trying to evaluate buildr for a project with a large number of
artifacts and transitive dependencies?
It's not clear to me if this is the kind of build task buildr is
intended for [1].
