Hi all,

I posted this to stackoverflow - [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30434421/gradle-eclipse-multiproject-how-to-not-export-provided-jars-that-are-depend](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30434421/gradle-eclipse-multiproject-how-to-not-export-provided-jars-that-are-depend), though the comment from Andreas is that it works for him. Since his feedback I created a github project with a minimal example in that post ( [https://github.com/oehm-smith/gradleMultiprojectProvided](https://github.com/oehm-smith/gradleMultiprojectProvided) ) and it doesn’t work for me. I’m hoping someone else can try it.

In summary, the [README.md](http://README.md):

Gradle Multiproject with a Provided scope / configuration. Running war from the CL creates a .war with no jars marked with ‘provided’. But run Eclipse \> Run On Tomcat and the provided and test jars go to webinf/lib.

1. cd master
2. gradle war
3. jar tvf …/apir/build/libs/apir.war | grep jar
4. Observe no ‘tomcat’ jars are in the war

Now do in Eclipse:

1. In Eclipse with Gradle plugin … right-click \> import \> gradle and select the master project \> build \> select \> ok
2. Choose ‘apir’ project \> right-click \> run on server \> piviol tc S rver is fine
3. Choose 'pivotal tc Server ’ \> Browse Deployme3t Location
4. Observe there ARE ‘tomcat’ jars in the wtpwebapps/apir/WEB-INF/lib directory

Lastly I would like feedback on how to debug this problem. In the github project you will see I print out `configurations.provided` and some information for `eclipse.classpath.noExportConfigurations` but need to see more for `noExportConfigurations` and I don’t know how. What about debug to see the inner-workings of the `eclipse-wtp` plugin?

Looking through the gradle issues this seems to be an instance of [https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2396](https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2396) (i tried to add that tag but it doesn’t exist)
