Multiple versions of the same dependency

[Zealock]

Hey guys.

 

This might be simple for the gradle pros, but I'm still getting used to it..

 

I've written a Netty IO server for data and private messaging without needing to be on a particular server, but after a week of debugging it was time to write a forge mod for it.. completely not thinking about this until now, i realise that Minecrafts version of Netty doesn't match mine and compiling and adding the new version of Netty is going to either break my mod, or minecraft.. I kind of need both right now.

 

What can i do in order to get the right version of Netty for my mod to use, without Modifying Minecrafts netty dependency? Is there a way to have a /libs/io.netty to separate and then have the compiler use that too?

 

Thanks.

Hey Draco, Thanks for that.

 

It works quite well, and I've moved my Netty IO dependency to /libs/io/netty....

 

Theres one tiny issue though, Any part of my mod that accesses Minecraft network channels throws an exception because its looking for my libs/io/netty packaged dependency instead of Minecrafts io/netty/*

 

Would you know if there's a way to have a gradle dependency use a different package while coding, instead of having the imports modified during build?

Likely you will have to use fully qualified names
