I'm assuming that you don't want ivy to download the transient dependencies of a dependency declaration in your ivy.xml file?

Option 1: Transitive parameter (ivy.xml)

<dependency org="foo" name="bar" revision="3.0" transitive="false"/>

Option 2: Configuration mapping (ivy.xml)

If the bar module is held in a Maven repository then mapping the default configuration to the master scope will omit other dependencies

<dependency org="foo" name="bar" revision="3.0" conf="default->master"/>

Option 3: Don't use information in POM files (ivysettings.xml)

When downloading from a maven repository setting the usepoms parameter to false will ignore the module's dependencies

<ibiblio name="maven" m2compatible="true" usepoms="false"/>

  • Thanks Mark. Option 3 did the trick for me for gwt. As for another jar, it is still complaining about not finding its dependencies – Pat B Aug 09 '12 at 19:37

If you want to set transitive statements in your ant-task (your question really isn't that clear on this), you can use the transitive switch directly (default is "true"):

<ivy:resolve ... transitive="false" />
