Hi , I need to exclude the dependency, i have tried with below coding and it doesn’t work at all.

Code:

> configurations {  
> compile.exclude module: ‘com.amzaws:aws-java-sdk:1.10.+’  
> all\*.exclude group: ‘com.amzonaws:aws-java-sdk:1.10.+’, module: ‘reports’  
> }

> dependencies {  
> compile (‘com.amzaws:aws-java-sdk:1.10.+’) {  
> exclude module: ‘aws-java-sdk-learning’  
> exclude module: ‘aws-java-sdk-works’  
> exclude module: ‘aws-java-sdk-workflow’  
> exclude module: ‘aws-java-sdk-lift’  
> exclude module: ‘aws-java-sdk-route’  
> }
