Continuing on my recent question about module replacement rules, what is the difference between
configurations
{
all
{
resolutionStrategy
{
dependencySubstitution
{
substitute module('javax.activation:javax.activation-api') with module('jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api:1.2.2')
}
}
}
}
and
dependencies
{
modules
{
module('javax.activation:javax.activation-api')
{
replacedBy('jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api')
}
}
}
apart from the obvious difference that the former requires specifying a version for the replacement module, while the latter does not.
Both seem to do the same thing, except I don’t know precisely when to use which.
Also related to my previous question, both show no effect when used in a platform project, of which I conclude that neither is currently supported for platform projects.
Thanks!
