As a workaround, it still uses the same package names so this library can be used by including the dependency directly and adding an exclusion rule, e.g.
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.playframework" %% "play-json" % "3.0.1",
"ai.x" %% "play-json-extensions" % "0.42.0"
)
excludeDependencies ++= Seq(
// As of Play 3.0, groupId has changed to org.playframework; exclude transitive dependencies to the old artifacts
ExclusionRule(organization = "com.typesafe.play")
)
It may be worth marking the dependency as Optional in the library, to avoid pulling in incompatible play-json dependencies as various libraries update to support 3.x
The play-json team changed the groupId for the dependency from
org.typesafe.playtoorg.playframeworkfor 3.x and later (https://github.com/playframework/play-json/releases/tag/3.0.0).As a workaround, it still uses the same package names so this library can be used by including the dependency directly and adding an exclusion rule, e.g.
