How to exclude/excludeAll com.google.code.findbugs from a Play application?

I have a play2.4.3 application. I'm trying to exclude com.google.code.findbugs library when I distribute my application (using activator dist command).

I don't directly include it, here is how I think it's included in the project:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.typesafe.play/play-java_2.10/2.4.3 depends on: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.reflections/reflections/0.9.9 depends on: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.code.findbugs/annotations/2.0.1

I want to use sbt's exclusions mentioned here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.12.4/docs/Detailed-Topics/Library-Management.html

The problem that I have is that when I look at the pom for the findbugs there is no organization name, so I'm not sure what to pass to the methods.

Also I've tried multiple variations of exclusion and excludeAll command and it doesn't seem to work.

Solution

  • Try the following (very forceful approach):

    libraryDependencies := libraryDependencies.value.map(_.excludeAll(ExclusionRule("com.google.code.findbugs", "annotations")))
