Remove dependency in Gradle

Question

In my project I have to libraries that uses com.google.javascript:closure-compiler. Due to some jars problem I want to exclude one. To do this I wrote this code:

compile('com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-core:2.8.1') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.javascript', module: 'closure-compiler'
}

When I run ./gradlew dependecies old jar seems to be removed.

My problem occurs when I run ./gradlew install and import my lib in another project, because in another project I have both jars. How can I remove it?

Answer 1

You could try adding a provided configuration as described here.

Once that is in place, try changing your code to something like:

provided('com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-core:2.8.1') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.javascript', module: 'closure-compiler'
}
