We can exclude transitive dependencies easily from specific configurations. To exclude them from all configurations we can use Groovy's spread-dot operator and invoke the exclude() method on each configuration. We can only define the group, module or both as arguments for the exclude() method.
The following part of a build file shows how we can exclude a dependency from all configurations:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | ...configurations { all*.exclude group: 'xml-apis', module: 'xmlParserAPIs'}// Equivalent to:configurations { all.collect { configuration -> configuration.exclude group: 'xml-apis', module: 'xmlParserAPIs' }}... |
