Ceylon 1.3.1 was released and adds this new feature that changes how it deals with maven transitive dependencies.

You can see the thread about how it works from ceylon issue: https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon/issues/6597

Ah sorry, in configurations not dependencies OK lemme try.

FroMage commented 7 years ago

OK I confirm it works, thanks!

FroMage commented 7 years ago

You should mention this in your docs, because this sort of overrides is very common in Ceylon overrides, and because they're bypassed by your plugin, people will likely want to know how to adapt them. Thanks for the help!

renatoathaydes commented 7 years ago

@FroMage yes, I agree, will add a comment in the docs.

renatoathaydes commented 7 years ago

Two things I will do from this issue:

add instructions in the docs to make it easy to override dependencies in the Gradle file.
maybe: add option to let Ceylon manage dependencies the standard way. This plugin loses a lot of its function in such case, but I would think that it may still be quite useful to run builds and tests a little easier, and integrate with code in other languages, or just use other Gradle plugins to perform tasks like bytecode analysis/modification, deployment etc.
