I’m a total novice to Gradle so I hope I can explain this properly.
I work in Eclipse and I build the Java projects through an “External Tool” (menu “Run” / “External tools”) configured to run “gradlew.bat”.
My problem is that whenever I run the build for my Java project, this project ends up having on its build path a certain JAR which I don’t want (“velocity-1.4.jar”). If I manually remove this JAR from the build path, it comes back the next time I run the Gradle build. However the “build.gradle” file I use for building does not mention anything related to Velocity, so I don’t know what to change in order not to fetch that JAR. The file lists several dependencies though, for ex.:
compile (group: 'hsqldb', name: 'hsqldb', version: '1.8.0.10', transitive: false)
compile (group: 'org.eclipse.jetty', name: 'jetty-distribution', version: '8.1.7.v20120910')
compile (group: 'commons-lang', name: 'commons-lang',
version: '2.6')
compile (group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents',name: 'httpclient', version: '4.3.1')
and I imagine that my unwanted JAR comes as a dependency of one of these dependencies. I’m wondering what’s a good way to find out which dependency is fetching the unwanted JAR.
gradlew.bat dependencies --configuration compile
Or:
gradlew dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency velocity
Thanks. That command actually shows me a big dependency tree (pasted below). But for some reason nothing about Velocity is mentioned there, and yet if I remove the Velocity JARs from the build path entries and then I run that same command with also my build target (that would be
gradlew.bat eclipse dependencies --configuration compile
) those JARs come back, and the same tree that doesn’t mention Velocity is shown. Perhaps I will try to go by exclusion, removing some dependencies from “build.gradle” until the build no longer fetches the Velocity JARs, so I will know which dependency is causing them to be fetched. However I would still like to understand if there is a more proper way to find that out.

This was aimed at the first reply. I’m going to try the second reply. Thanks.
If ‘–configuration compile’ doesn’t show the dependency, then it’s probably a ‘runtime’, ‘testCompile’, or ‘testRuntime’ dependency (assuming you are using the standard configurations as declared by the ‘java’ plugin).
With the command from the second reply I get this:
D:\svn\MyProject> gradlew dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency velocity
:dependencyInsight
No dependencies matching given input were found in configuration ':compile'

Unfortunately I don’t have enough knowledge to appreciate what it entails that it could be a runtime, testCompile, or testRuntime dependency. I’ll do some more tries.
Try with ‘–configuration runtime’ etc.
Note that you don’t have to know who brings in Velocity in order to exclude it (although it’s good to know):
configurations.all {
exclude module: "velocity"
}
Thanks everybody, problem solved.
gradlew dependencies --configuration testCompile
did the trick, it was a testCompile dependency:

I also learned other important things from the other posts, so now I know what to do next time I have a similar problem. Very good support here, much appreciated.
