Title Body

I have a subproject with a war spec that looks like this: war { from('resources') { include '*.properties' into 'WEB-INF/classes/' } webXml = file('src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml') } Works great. Creates a single, fat war file that is deployable to Tomcat. Problem is, when deploying to TomEE and JBoss, I run into conflicts (ie with Javax Servlet, Jersey, etc). So I want to exclude a set of jars from being war'd. I looked at the Gradle war documentation, and it looks like I need to use excludes for this. I tried it two different ways, and the jars are not excluded from the war: war { // copy properties file in classes so that // they may be loaded from classpath from('resources') { include '*.properties' into 'WEB-INF/classes/' } // specify web xml webXml = file('src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml') // remove jars that conflict with TomEE exclude '**/javax.inject-1.jar' exclude '**/javax.servlet-2.5.0.v201103041518.jar' exclude '**/servlet-api-2.5.jar' exclude '**/validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar' } This is in a subproject (karyon-examples) within the NetFlix/karyon project hosted on github. The dependencies in the subproject look like this: dependencies { compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.0' runtime 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.0' compile project(':karyon-extensions') compile project(':karyon-admin-web') } And I want to avoid editing things like compile versus runtime dependencies, especially in other files and subprojects. In fact the jars I am trying to exclude above are benign when running with jetty and regular tomcat. I simply want to exclude these jars without complicating the build scripts. What am I missing? Thanks
