Gradle dependency with transitive false continue to retrieve dependency

I have a build with a dependency declared this way

compile ("org:module:+"){
    changing=true
    transitive=false
}

but even if the transitive is false i still found some dependencies packages inside my build. In the build output with debug option turned on i find this messages

[org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.resolveengine.graph.DependencyGraphBuilder] Visiting dependency org:module:1.21(compile) -> commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.0(compile,runtime)
12:19:32.773 [DEBUG] [io.spring.gradle.dependencymanagement.DependencyManagementPlugin] Processing dependency 'commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.0'
12:19:32.774 [DEBUG] [io.spring.gradle.dependencymanagement.DependencyManagementPlugin] No dependency management for dependency 'commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.0'
12:19:32.774 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.resolveengine.graph.DependencyGraphBuilder] Selecting new module version commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.8.0

and much more about other module dependencies. What I have to do to force to explicitly NOT retrieve this packages?

As you have already found out, it was another dependency which had the same transitive dependency. However this should not be hard to find. You can run Gradle built-in task dependencies to get a tree view of all your dependencies.

Just for completeness, you can exclude all unwanted dependencies by:

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.example', module: 'dep'
}
