exclude jars about gradle-appengine-plugin HOT 6 CLOSED

from gradle-appengine-plugin.

@loosebazooka there have been times that I use framework that pulls in jetty embedded server. so the final deploy to GAE I end up with WEB-INF/lib/jetty-http-9.3.6.v20151106.jar etc etc

which is of course not useful on GAE. I can exclude them in the dep block.

but I wasn't sure if there is another way

from gradle-appengine-plugin.

If you don't need it at any point during your development, I would probably just put it in the exclude of the dependency.

There are some standard gradle exclusion techniques when generating the war which don't put the jar in the war/lib directory as see in this question : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20707543/gradle-how-to-exclude-jar-from-a-war

But there's no appengine deployment specific exclusion mechanisms.

oh, I didn't realize the plugin extends the war task. yea, I can just exclude it using war task way.

thank you!

okay, I'm going to close this issue

@loosebazooka thank you very much for your help. I just tried it using war exclude, was able to verify in both build/exploded-app/WEB-INF/lib/

and also the final deployed appengine artifact that the exclusion worked
