Grails 3 exclude class

I am developing a grails plugin and I would like to exclude a class at build time. Let's say I have a service under grails-app/services/MyService.groovy. I would like to build 2 versions of this plugin, one which contains MyService, one which doesn't. Is there a way to achieve this?

Solution

  • In your plugin descriptor you can define pluginExcludes to express items that you want excluded from the plugin. For example:

    def pluginExcludes = [
    '**/com/demo/**'
]

    You can also exclude contents from the jar file:

    // build.gradle
jar {
    exclude "com/demo/**"
}
