Until now I used the following to create my `war`:

```gradle
tasks.named('war').configure {
	classpath = project.sourceSets.production.runtimeClasspath + project(':shared').sourceSets.production.runtimeClasspath
	...
}

```

However, accessing the `runtimeClasspath` of the other project has been deprecated and gives a warning on Gradle 7.6. So I want to fix that. I spent a lot of time on this and can’t figure out a (good) way to do that.

Actually using just `classpath = project.sourceSets.production.runtimeClasspath` almost works - because the current project depends on `shared` anyway and hence the jars from `shared` come in. The only problem (as far as I can see) is that things declared in `productionRuntimeOnly` in the `shared` project don’t get added to the `war`.

So what’s the “correct” way to migrate that code? Thanks!

This is the documentation about how to properly share things between projects: [Sharing outputs between projects](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/cross_project_publications.html)

Or maybe you actually want to create a “production” feature variant as documented at [Modeling feature variants and optional dependencies](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/feature_variants.html)
