Gradle Transitive dependency exclusion is not working as expected. (How do I get rid of com.google.guava:guava-jdk5:13.0 ?)

Question

here is a snippet of my build.gradle:

compile \'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.19.0\'
compile \'com.google.apis:google-api-services-oauth2:v2-rev7         


        

Answer 1

It seems a dependency will not be excluded if there is another dependency somewhere that points to that same dependency without any of the excludes.

You can exclude a dependency through configuration however:

configurations {
  all*.exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module:'guava-jdk5'
}
