Answer 1

If the transitive is not working, can try resolution startegy. I was fed up with the transitive or even normal exclude.

https://docs.gradle.org/2.2.1/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolutionStrategy.html

dependencies{
        compile(group: 'ruimo', name: 'module_a', version: '1.0-SNAPSHOT')
    }

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force ruimo:module_a:1.0-SNAPSHOT
    }
}
