Handle gradle tasks dependencies - gradle

Question

Using gradle with its spring-boot plugin (1.5.1) and a first spirit plugin together raises an error:
D:\Coden\WS\STS\fs-db-import>gradle build
:genJaxb
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:jar UP-TO-DATE
:fsm UP-TO-DATE
:bootRepackage FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':bootRepackage'.
> Unable to deduce layout for 'D:\Coden\WS\STS\fs-db-import\build\fsm\fs-db-import-0.0.1.fsm'
It seems that bootRepackage from the spring boot plugin can't handle or package the fsm file.
a) how can I exclude it?
Another approach would be to switch the 'fsm' and the 'bootRepackage' task, but adding the following lines to build.gradle
bootRepackage.dependsOn -= fsm
tasks.bootRepackage.dependsOn -= fsm
fsm.dependsOn bootRepackage
results in
Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:bootRepackage
\--- :fsm
\--- :bootRepackage (*)
(*) - details omitted (listed previously)
b) how do I remove 'fsm'`s dependency from 'bootRepackage'?
c) is it possible to show a gradle task dependency graph? (not project dependencies)

Answer 1

By default the Spring Boot plugin attempts to repackage all tasks of type Jar. Sine the FSM task extends from Jar the plugin attempts to repackage them both. You can explicitly tell the plugin which Jar task to use.
bootRepackage {
withJarTask jar
}
More information can be found in the Spring Documentation.
