Sometimes you just want a simple way to exclude dependencies without creating closures. This plugin creates a method on a Gradle project that provides a little syntax sugar for exclusions.

This plugin is available from Bintray's JCenter repository. You can add it to your build script using the following configuration:

apply plugin: 'com.github.rocketraman.dep-excludes'

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
  }
  
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.github.rocketraman:dep-excludes-plugin:0.1'
  }
}

or more simply using the new incubating plugin mechanism in Gradle 2.1:

plugins {
  id "com.github.rocketraman.dep-excludes" version "0.1"
}

The current version is known to work in Gradle version 2.1.

To create a dependency org.foo:foo:1.0 with some simple exclusions for bar and baz:

depExcept("org.foo:foo:1.0", ["bar", "baz"])

Scala libraries often declare dependencies on scala-compiler, scala-library, and scala-reflect, but with versions that are not the same as those declared in the project. These could be excluded explicitly using depExcept, but some more syntax sugar is provided for these cases:

scalaDepExcept("org.foo:foo_2.11:1.0")

will create the foo_2.11 dependency, but exclude the scala libs, and

scalaDepExcept("org.foo:foo_2.11:1.0", ["bar", "baz"])

will create the foo_2.11 dependency, but exclude the scala libs as well as bar and baz.
