How to exclude a Dependency in Grails?

Question

In my BuildConfig.groovy I have

dependencies {

   compile 'org.package:abc:2.0.0'

}

abc has xyz as dependency. How can I exclude xyz?

I tried

dependencies {

   compile 'org.package:abc:2.0.0' {
     exclude: 'xyz'
   }

}

but this does not work.

Answer 1

It's excludes, not exclude...

 compile('org.package:abc:2.0.0') {
     excludes 'xyz'
  }
