You mean that your jar is used only to compile but is not a transitive dependency?

<dependency> <groupId>foo</groupId> <artifactId>bar</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

provided: This scope is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is not transitive.
