**[S Boot](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=bhuman.vyas@gmail.com)** opened **[MASSEMBLY-853](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-853?redirect=false)** and commented

So here is the thing what I am trying is :

I have parent pom and I am using maven-assembly-plugin in that like below.

\
\maven-assembly-plugin\

src/main/assembly/domainApi.xml




dist-assembly
package

single

I also have assembley file which is listed below.

\
\domainApi\
\
\jar\
\

false


target/classes/com/cac/customer/api
.

*.class







false
false
false
false

\

Now while building assembley jar I am getting only .class file which I want exactly and pushing this jar
to nexus.

While using this jar with below notation it also download some other jar which is not detect by \

Please suggest whats the way to exclude parent jar which are not TransitiveDependencies.

**Affects:** 2.4, 3.0.0

Start with the Maven configuration and assembly descriptor shown in the issue, especially dependencySets and useTransitiveDependencies. Reproduce the package build with domainApi.xml and inspect which dependencies are included in the generated JAR and published metadata. Done means the behavior is understood and the requested non-transitive dependency exclusion is either corrected or precisely documented.
