nflow-rest-api-common adds swagger annotations as transitive dependency

[ptorkko]

Given a gradle project like:

plugins {
    id 'io.freefair.lombok' version '8.11'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.4.1'
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(21)
    }
}

configurations {
    nflowExplorer
}

jar {
    enabled = false
}

dependencies {
    implementation(platform(org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.SpringBootPlugin.BOM_COORDINATES))
    implementation(platform('org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi:2.8.3'))

    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'

    // nflow
    implementation 'io.nflow:nflow-rest-api-spring-web:10.0.0'
    nflowExplorer 'io.nflow:nflow-explorer:[email protected]'

    // swagger
    implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui'

    ...
}

results in nflow-rest-api-common module including io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-annotations as a transitive dependency, requiring:

// nflow
implementation('io.nflow:nflow-rest-api-spring-web:10.0.0') {
    exclude group: 'io.swagger.core.v3', module: 'swagger-annotations'
}
nflowExplorer 'io.nflow:nflow-explorer:[email protected]'

I don't think these are a runtime requirement for this specific module (or the project as a whole?).
