Ivy/Maven Resolve: Don't pull transitive "provided" jars - ivy

Question

I'm using Ivy for my projects, but we're using Artifactory as our jar repository. I actually use <ivy:makepom> Ant task to create a Maven pom.xml, so I can deploy the jars and wars back to my Maven repository via the Maven deploy:deploy workflow.
I build a big jar called common-all.jar that requires about 30 jars for its compilation. I specify about 10 jars, and Ivy pulls down the dependencies. As part of the compile process, I specify the log4j jar, and some JBoss jars. These jars, of course, will be provided by our environment.
With this Jar, I also a bunch of wars. I specify the common-all.jar as part of my dependency, and the 30 jars that common-all.jar requires are also pulled down. All is well and good.
The problem is when I build the war. I do not want the JBoss jars or the log4j jars included as part of the war. These will be provided by the environment. I've marked them as provided in the pom.xml file. when I build common-all.jar.
Now, the question is how do I specify that I want these when I compile the code for the war, but I don't want to include them in my war itself.
Here's a sample of my ivy.xml file.
How can I specify that the common-all.jar requires certain specific jars for compilation, but when I build it in a war, I don't want all of these jars

You haven't demonstrated how you declare the common-all dependency, so I'll make up the following example:
<dependency org="mygroup" name="common-all" rev="1.0" conf="compile->default;provided"/>
The magic is the configuration mapping:
The local "compile" configuration is mapped to the common module and its default (compile) scope dependencies, and
The local "provided" configuration is mapped to the common module and its provided scope dependencies.
Inside your build file the configurations are used as follows:
<project name="demo" default="build" xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant">
<target name="resolve">
<ivy:resolve/>
<ivy:cachepath pathid="compile.path" conf="compile"/>
<ivy:cachepath pathid="provided.path" conf="provided"/>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="resolve">
<javac ...
<classpath>
<path refid="compile.path"/>
<path refid="provide.path"/>
</classpath>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="build" depends="compile">
<ivy:retrieve pattern="build/lib/[artifact].[ext]" conf="runtime"/>
<war ...
<lib dir="build/lib"/>
</war>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="build"/>
<ivy:cleancache/>
</target>
</project>
