Major sad face on this one. > Unfortunately non-transitive compile does not work out. The idea behind this is good for the very reasons you mentioned above. But it has serious issues. - Groovyc needs the transitive dependencies for compiling in any case - Javac also needs the transitive dependencies in some circumstances to compile. Even if your code only accesses first level dependencies. Therefore we had to change that and we need to implement the idea behind this in a different way. - Hans -- Hans Dockter Founder, Gradle http://www.gradle.org, http://twitter.com/gradleorg CEO, Gradle Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradle.biz
