Exclude bundles from osgiRuntime

[thugcee]

Hi Is it possible to instruct osgi-run to not install some bundles in started OSGi container? I have a big dependency tree with some packages not needed actually, but calculated as necessary.

Hi!

Have you tried excluding the dependencies in the gradle file?

Something like this:

dependencies {
    osgiRuntime "my-bundle:with-transitive-dependencies:1.0", {
        exclude group: 'bundl-group-to-be-excluded'
    }
}

I've never tried this , but I expect this to work because osgi-run uses Gradle's configurations to figure out dependencies and install bundles in the OSGi runtime.

If it doesn't work, I think it can be considered a bug.

That didn't work in my case (osgiRuntime was correct and runtime contained unwanted dependencies), but you pointed me in right direction and I've found the solution, thank you :)

My solution was to add:

configurations {
    ...
    runtime.exclude group: 'org.apache.poi' // unwanted dep.
    runtime.exclude group: 'org.mockito'  // unwanted dep.
}

@thugcee cool!
