[Gradle plugin] AAR excludes API

[Tony Ngo]

Would it be possible to provide an API that returns a list of excludes that do not belong inside classes.jar when it needs to be bundled into an AAR?  I'm taking the list from your source now (LibraryPlugin.groovy:) from packageJar task, but having something that is maintained by you makes more sense.

There's a new "provided" dependency scope. It might do what you want. Or it might not, I've done some work in the area recently and fixed some issues. The next plugin should do what you need.

Please do not send me questions directly. Thanks!

Thank you for your quick reply.  Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.  The specific set of excludes I'm talking about are: R.class, R$*, Manifest, and BuildConfig.class being excluded from classes.jar (since it does not belong in an AAR).

[Xavier Ducrohet]

Those classes are already excluded.

Right, I'm interested in having that list, which does not belong in an AAR's classes.jar, publicly available (for all to use if needed) and maintained by one.  Proguard code uses that same list when creating their protected classes.jar (and so will many others who have custom plugins that want to manipulate class files).  Right now, everyone will be duplicating code, and probably checking back with Google in order to get that list anyway, might as well make it a simple API call right?
