Many of my jars have conflicting transitive dependencies (multiple spring versions). I would like to avoid inherited version conflicts by managing all of my dependencies explicitly, is it possible to disable all transitive dependencies in Gradle?
I know I can add transitive = false to each of my dependencies, but I am hoping there is a simpler way.
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring', version: '2.5.2') { transitive = false }

When you specify a dependency in your build script, you can provide an exclude rule at the same time telling Gradle not to pull in the specified transitive dependency. For example, say we have a Gradle project that depends on Google's Guava library, or more specifically com.
If a transitive dependency exists, we remove the transitively dependent attribute(s) from the relation by placing the attribute(s) in a new relation along with a copy of the determinant.
Gradle automatically resolves those additional modules, so called transitive dependencies. If needed, you can customize the behavior the handling of transitive dependencies to your project's requirements. Projects with tens or hundreds of declared dependencies can easily suffer from dependency hell.
I ended up using:
configurations.all { transitive = false } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
