How to handle local module ?

I want to exclude a class from local module. I can't to this direct in modules, because they are aar modules with build.gradle like

configurations.maybeCreate("default")
artifacts.add("default", file('abcdef.aar'))

dependencies {
    api project(":module1")
    // api project(":module2") <-- exclude a class

    api jarjar.repackage {
        from ":module2" <--- how to specify ?

        classDelete "com.google.something.**"
    }

But I run into


Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':library:detachedConfiguration3'.
   > Could not find :module2:.
     Required by:
         project :library

How to do so with local modules ? eg from project (":module2") doesn't work either

shevek / jarjar
