Exclude Package From Gradle Dependency

Question

I\'m experiencing an issue where multiple versions of the same class are showing up in my classpath. The class in question is javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder. The

Answer 1

I found out that com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:1.19 doesn't bundle the javax.ws.rs class files and instead lists them as a compile-time dependency. Adding this snippet to my build.gradle fixed the issue.

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy {
    // For a version that doesn't package javax.ws
    force 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:1.19' 
  }
}

Answer 2

You can exclude an transitive dependency module like this:

   compile ('org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client:2.17') {
      exclude group: 'javax.ws.rs'
      exclude module: 'javax.ws.rs-api'
   }
