Description

As described in Ivy manual section dependencies/dependency/conf (http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.4.0/ivyfile/dependency.html):

since 1.4 you can use * wildcard followed by negated configurations to mean all but xxx. For instance, '*, !A, !B -> X' means that X dependency configuration is required in all master configurations except A and B.

I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, but in any way I tried this it doesn't work.

Here is my ivy.xml, configurations are the same for Module A and B

<ivy-module version="2.0"  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
	<info organisation="company" module="B" status="${ivyStatus}" branch="${branch}" />
    <configurations>
        <conf name="default" visibility="public" description="runtime dependencies and master artifact can be used with this conf" extends="runtime,master"/>
        <conf name="master" visibility="public" description="contains only the artifact published by this module itself, with no transitive dependencies"/>
        <conf name="compile" visibility="public" description="this is the default scope, used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths." extends="third-party" />
        <conf name="runtime" visibility="public" description="this scope indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for execution. It is in the runtime and test classpaths, but not the compile classpath." extends="compile"/>
 		
 		<conf name="third-party" visibility="public" description="Resolves all 3rparty libraries like commons-io, etc." />
        <conf name="javadoc" visibility="public" description="javadoc deps" extends="javadoc-published" />
        <conf name="javadoc-published" visibility="public" description="javadoc deps"/>
        <conf name="source" visibility="public" description="contains a jar with sources. Could be helpful for debug." />
        <conf name="custom" visibility="public" description="not in use in here" />
    </configurations>
    <publications>
    </publications>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="prostep" name="A" rev="latest.integration" conf="*,!custom->@" branch="${branch}" />

        <dependency org="org.jsoup" name="jsoup" rev="1.8.1" conf="third-party->default;javadoc,javadoc-published->javadoc;source->sources" />

        <dependency org="com.sun.jersey" name="jersey-core" rev="1.19" conf="third-party->default;javadoc,javadoc-published->javadoc;source->sources" />
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

If I tried it this way I got:

:: problems summary ::
:::: WARNINGS
		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

		::          UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES         ::

		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

		:: company#A#product;revision-1.0: configuration not public in company#A#product;revision-1.0: 'custom'. It was required from company#B#product;working@DSK-13-019 custom

		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If I make configuration 'custom' public I got no errors, but the configuration is resolved.
