At the moment, that's pretty much the case. You could do something like this:
war {
// remove classes from the classpath
classpath = configurations.runtime
// add them in explicitly, with the filtering applied
webInf {
into('classes') {
from sourceSets.main.classes
exclude '...'
}
}
}
Of course, this should be much simpler to achieve. For example, we might add
something like this:
war {
classpath {
exclude '...'
}
}
Could you add a jira issue for this problem?
