I have a `java-library` library project that has compile-time dependency on a couple other libraries:

```gradle
dependencies {
  compile project(':other-library')
  ...
}

```

Each library has a Maven publication defined in `build.gradle` (via `maven-publish` plugin). When I publish my library (`gradle publish`), all dependencies are published as well. I would like to have a way to publish just the root project library. How can I do this?
