I still do not understand what is the goal here. A `compile` scope *needs* to be transitive, even if the library does not expose this dependency in its API, because the library needs the dependency for its internal working. If the reason for making a dependency non-transitive is that the dependency is expected to be already present on the target platform, then this is the `provided` scope. If the reason is that the dependency is optional, then there is an `<optional>true</optional>` element for that. If the goal is to prevent users to `import` classes from the non-transitive dependency without explicit `<dependency>` declaration by the users, then this is already managed by the Java Module system. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
