Avoid platform specific dependencies in SBT packageBin

In a Java11 project (actually Java Play-Framework) I depend directly on org.deeplearning4j:deeplearning4j-nlp:1.0.0-M2 in my build.sbt running SBT 1.5.5.

That dependency transitively depends on several other libraries (like e.g. org.bytedeco:ffmpeg:5.0-1.5.7) that exists as platform dependent libraries and seem to use the SBT “classifier” to indicate the platform .. linux-x86, linux-x86_64, android-x86_64, windows… and so on. Now with my SBT commands like sbt universal:packageBin that yields me all platform versions of all of those quite large jars in my final “fat-jar” outcome and the result is 8 times as big as needed. The other native packager variants like windows:packageBin or debian:packageBin behave the same and include those jars in all platform variants.

I dont know how to set globally, that for any transitive dependency, I want to exclude the classifier X, Y and Z (in my case I would exclude the platforms that are not relevant for me)

Even the verbose way of excluding each unwanted one doesnt work:

excludeDependencies  += "org.bytedeco" % "ffmpeg" % "5.0-1.5.7" classifier "macosx-x86_64"

.. still has the “org.bytedeco.ffmpeg-5.0-1.5.7-macosx-x86_64.jar” in my final fat-jar artifact.

Answer

I solved it for my specific case now. First I opened a request on the DL4J forum (https://community.konduit.ai/t/limit-native-dependencies-to-one-platform-on-sbt/2005/2) and got similar suggestions as here.

In short – all the “SBT-JavaCV” related settings did not show any results, I dont know if it was active at all and I didnt find log output so its unclear to me, what I missed there.

So in the end I changed in my build.sbt to the following:

  1. I added to my “deeplearning4j-nlp” dependency these transitive excludes in the section libraryDependencies ++= Seq(:
  "org.deeplearning4j" % "deeplearning4j-nlp" % "1.0.0-M2"  excludeAll(
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "ffmpeg-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "hdf5-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "hdf5-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "javacpp-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "leptonica-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "openblas-platform"),
    ExclusionRule(organization = "org.bytedeco", name = "opencv-platform")
  ),

.. and that avoided the xyz-plattform jars to come into my fat-jar outcome. Then after it, I just explicitly named the platforms that Im interested in via the “classifier”:

 "org.bytedeco" % "ffmpeg" % "5.0-1.5.7"        classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",
  "org.bytedeco" % "hdf5" % "1.12.1-1.5.7"       classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",
  "org.bytedeco" % "javacpp" % "1.5.7"           classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",
  "org.bytedeco" % "leptonica" % "1.82.0-1.5.7"  classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",
  "org.bytedeco" % "openblas" % "0.3.19-1.5.7"   classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",
  "org.bytedeco" % "opencv" % "4.5.5-1.5.7"      classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64",

And this yields me a fat-jar with just the platform libs that I specify in that “classifier”.

Anyways, @SamuelAudet & @AdamGibson thanks for you time and guidance.
