排除依赖罐中的特定类-GRADLE

Question

I have a jar file : sp-common-types.jar which is provided by a different team. This has around 6 classes. I do not want to include 2 classes out of these. I am able to exclude the jar using the statement below in gradle. If I want to exclude specific classes from the jar , how can it be achieved.

compile("com.xyz.sp:sp-boot:0.1.1"){ exclude group: "com.xyz.sp", module: 'sp-common-types' }

Answer 1

I don't believe it is possible to exclude files/classes at dependency import time. The only solution I can think of that might work , but would be a gross solution, would be to write a task that manually goes and deletes the folder structures that you don't want from the jar you imported.
