Plugin Publishing - How to remove Pom dependencies?

Help/Discuss Plugin Portal

After about half a day of searching (including the plugin-publish-plugin code), I managed to find the undocumented magic to remove dependencies from the generated jar. Maven calls this a ‘reduced dependency jar’

Here’s the result, with the hopes it will save others hours of searching

  pluginBundle {
  //
  // Standard config cruft removed for brevity.
  //
    withDependencies {
      it.clear()
    }
  }
