Transitive dependencies in a multi-project build

Old Forum Archive

Hi,

I have a multi-project build with two projects:

  • ProjectA with the following build.grade:

dependencies {

compile ‘org.springframework:spring-context:1.3’ }

  • ProjectB with the following build.grade:

dependencies {

compile ‘org.springframework:spring-context:4.1.5.RELEASE’

compile (project(’:projectA’)) {

exclude group: ‘org.springframework’

} }

Now if I execute the Eclipse plugin I would expect that the Spring1 dependency would be removed from ProjectB leaving only Spring4. But if I open the project in Eclipse I got compile errors because the references to Spring belongs to the version 1.3.

Is there a way to exclude this dependency? Or should I approach this problem in a different way?

Thanks
