In ant/ivy there is a way to get a dependency file to the web-inf/classes folder copied there without the version number, is there some easy way to accomplish this in gradle!
I figured it out
in *.gradle:
configmanager (“cbs-inet:cbs-inet-core-api-lib:3.19-latest”) {
transitive = false
}
in build.gradle under war/afterEvaluate:
configurations.configmanager.each { jarfile ->
def classesDirName = "${sourceSets.main.output.classesDir}/" + jarfile.name
def dst = new File(classesDirName)
dst << jarfile.bytes
}
