Gradle - Exclude Nested Transitive Dependencies

Question

The below custom boot dependency has a number of transitive dependencies. Few of these transitive dependencies have reference to org.hibernate group. I updated the below in my build.gradle file to exclude the dependency. However it doesn't seem to be removed when I run "gradle dependencies" and view the dependency tree.Should something be modified in order to exclude nested transitive dependencies?

compile("com.comp.service:service-boot:3.0.+") {
    exclude group: 'org.hibernate'
}

Answer 1

Add the configurations section:

dependencies {
    ....
}

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'org.hibernate'
}

You can also use module to narrow down the exclusion (if group alone removes too many transitive dependencies).

}
