Leiningen: how to exclude dependencies when uberjaring?

Question

When using leiningen to build Clojure applications, how can certain dependencies be excluded from being included in the JAR file when using lein uberjar?

Answer 1

Use the provided entry for the leiningen profile.

 :profiles {:dev {:dependencies [[ring-mock "0.1.5"]
                                 [prismatic/dommy "0.1.3"]
                                 [org.bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on "1.50"]]}
            :provided {:dependencies [[org.bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on "1.50"]]}}

One common use case is bouncycastle that needs to be excluded from the signed JAR and provided externally using its own jar file in runtime.
