how not to include a class into the resulting jar when building with gradle?

[kauan99]

is there an annotation I can use to mark a class (or maybe even a method in a class?) so gradle will not include it in the output jar files? or maybe some gradle razzamafoo I can do inside build.gradle to achieve that? thanks.

Nice. it can't be done annotating the class though?

[kauan99]

I will use the first solution. the annotation is beyond me thanks!

one last thing can I exclude a whole package? like

 

compileJava {
    exclude 'com/mymod/tests/'
}

You can use

 

compileJava {
    exclude 'com/mymod/test/*.java
}

exclude 'com/mymod/tests/**'

thanks guys. I wish I knew that language gradle uses better. I just copy paste stuff... It would be better if it would use a language more similar to java. Zen Scripts are scripts but are completely clear to anyone familiar with a C++ descendant

Gradle is based on Groovy which runs on the JVM, so anything you can do in Java you can do in Groovy.

Groovy's site says that Groovy has a "flat learning curve" and if they knew what a learning curve actually was, they'd realize that "flat" is not how to describe a curve.  Or more specifically, that it's a function f(x) where x is the number of minutes spent and f(x) is skill obtained.  A flat result from f(x) means that it's never approaching 1, aka mastery.

They should have used the phrase "easy to learn."
