How to exclude certain plugins from war in grails 1.3.5

Question

Hi

I'm seeking how to exclude plugins for specific environments. According to GRAILS documentation, starting with 1.3.5 it's now possible to disable a bunch of plugins. For example, I add the jetty plugin for local testing, but don't need it for deployment. I try to use the following in Config.groovy:

envname {
        . . .
        plugin {
            excludes = [ 'tomcat', 'jetty' ]
        }
}

But still, there's jetty jars in war file. I tred also

    plugin.excludes = [ 'tomcat', 'jetty' ]

This doesn't work as well:

plugin.excludes = 'tomcat, jetty'

But also without any luck. Does anybody has a working example? Thanks! P.S. Of course, war is being packaged with:

grails -Dgrails.env=envname war

I think disabling and excluding aren't the same thing. In any event, I couldn't find a reference to what you are saying is possible in 1.3.5. It isn't in the release notes. I did see this in the 1.1 release notes if you look under Plugin Scopes:

Do you have a link to the 1.3.5 specific info about what you're trying to achieve?
