Legacy Project Exclusion

Good morning,

I am working on a legacy Ear project with this structure.

| ── app
│    ├── build.gradle
│    └── src
│                 └── CommonsUtil.java
│                 └── GuavaUtil.java
│                  └── Main.java
│                   └── Util.java
        | - uicomponent
                | - security.war
                | - app.war
                | - reportresources.jar
               | - build.gradle

uicomponent - build.gradle

subprojects {
    apply plugin: 'war'
    //apply plugin: 'java-library'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    group = 'gov'
    version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
    // Common dependencies, e.g., shared libraries
    dependencies {
        compileOnly("javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:4.0.1")
        compileOnly("javax.servlet.jsp:javax.servlet.jsp-api:2.3.3")
        implementation("jsptags:pager-taglib:2.0")

        implementation("org.apache.struts:struts-core:1.3.10")
        implementation("org.apache.struts:struts-extras:1.3.10")
        implementation("org.apache.struts:struts-taglib:1.3.10")
        implementation("org.apache.struts:struts-tiles:1.3.10")

    }

    war {

        exclude {"$projectDir/reportresources"}
        webAppDirectory = file('WebContent')
//        classpath = classpath.filter { item ->
//            // Replace 'your-other-project-name' with the actual archive name of the project
//            !item.name.contains('reportresources')
//        }
//        classpath = classpath.filter { file ->
//            println file.name
//            (
//                    !file.name.startsWith('reportresources')
//            )
//        }
        duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE
        // Optional: If web.xml is also in a non-standard location
        // webXml = file('WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml')
    }

//    jar {
//        from("$projectDir/") {
//              include '**/*' // Includes all XML files from the main source set's output directory
//        }
//    }

    war.dependsOn(':app:jar')
}

Error:

problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:war' (type 'War').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\Projects\JUV\DevAzure\app\uicomponent\reportresources\build\libs\reportresources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war'.
   
    Reason: Task ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:jar' uses this output of task ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:war' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.
   
    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:war' as an input of ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:jar'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:war' from ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:jar' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:war' from ':app:uicomponent:reportresources:jar' using Task#mustRunAfter.

Thanks,

Richard

Besides that the one build script you have shown is full of various bad practices, it is hard to impossible to tell what causes the error you are seeing without the full details.
Just from what you shared I’d say the problem is not caused by that part (alone).

I removed the one gradle build file at the subproject level and created one for each war and the jar

and its generating the ear and acting as expected.

Still learning.

Thanks Again!

Richard
