Are you looking for something like this http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Exclude-properties-file-from-war-td3365147.html? If so only remember, that in recent versions of Gradle (I'm using 1.6) there's sourceSets.main.output. It'd helpful if you could specify what metadata is and attach your project's layout.

One more thing: you may also like to:

//remove jars only for provided compile
classpath -= configurations.providedCompile
