Guava classes are copied to my "classes" folder

I see google guava’s classes in my productmodel/build/classes/main folder when I execute “gradle compileJava”:

  • com/google/common/annotations

  • com/google/common/base

  • com/google/common/collect

while I’d only expect to see my own classes in this folder.

These Guava files end up in -warfile-/WEB-INF/lib/productmodel.jar. While I also have -warfile-/WEB-INF/lib/guava-12.0.jar and I’d expect the Google Guava classes to be loaded from there.

so why are these Google Guava classes copied to my “classes” folder? why only them and not all the other libraries I’m using?

my productmodel/build.gradle:

Not sure why this would be happening.

Can you please try reproducing with a small, simple, build that I can also run?

3

I reproduced it with some minimal configuration with just 1 java class in 1 module. how can I send you the ZIP file?

4

here’s my only java class:

mymodule/src/main/java/my/shared/sevice/AppVersionBuilder.java:

package my.shared.service;
  import com.google.common.base.Strings;
  public class AppVersionBuilder {
  public static String getFullVersionString() {
    String fullString = "stub here";
    if (!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(fullString)
            && !"@build_number@".equals(fullString)) {
      fullString += "-" + fullString;
    }
    return fullString;
  }
}

settings.gradle:

include "mymodule"

mymodule/build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'war'
  dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.google.guava', name: 'guava-gwt', version: '12.0'
}

Do some of the (Guava) Jars on your compile class path (additionally) contain Java sources? Note that javac will, by default, compile source files found on its compile class path just like “regular” source files.

yes, I see guava-gwt-12.0.jar has some java source files in it. same with guava-gwt-14.0.1.jar (both loaded from Maven Central).

what can we do to avoid having those Guava classes in our jar file?

Try ‘compileJava.options.compilerArgs = ["-implicit:none"]’.

this helped, thank you!
