[gradle-user] Excluding a transitive dependency from a project

[Darren Evenson]

Hi,

Is there a way to exclude a transitive dependency from a shared project in the 
same build?

So similar to this:
dependencies {
    compile("commons-jxpath:commons-jxpath:1.2") {
        exclude group: 'xerces' module: 'xerces'
    }
}

I would like to be able to do this:
dependencies {
    compile project(':shared') {
        exclude group: 'xerces' module: 'xerces'
    }
}

However, I can't get this to work, although I've tried many variations. Is this 
possible?
