You can specify transitive="false" on a dependency. Alternatively, you can specify transitive="false" on a conf such that all the dependencies that are depended upon via that conf will not be resolved transitively.
By the way, it's better to think of any Ivy module not literally as a JAR but truly as a module, even if the module is just publishing that particular JAR. The JAR is just a particular artifact published in that module; it's an implementation detail. The module concept provides an abstraction layer. So think name="name-of-module".
