That's part of the price to pay for transitive dependencies, and you should
do your own home brewed ruby script to deal with duplicate dependencies your
own way.
Here is a way to do it:
libs = [project('core').compile.dependencies,
compile.dependencies].flatten.compact.uniq
libs_by_id = {}
libs.each do |lib|
lib = artifact(lib)
if libs_by_id[lib.id].nil?
libs_by_id[lib.id] = lib
else
libs_by_id[lib.id] = lib if libs_by_id[lib.id].version < lib.version
end
end
libs = libs_by_id.values
Note
that's not related to war packaging at all, that works in any packaging.
If you want to specify version, you can do so by acting on the versions as I
do.
