I have some dependencies that include log4j, but I need logback instead.

So I add the following to build.gradle

configurations {
compile.exclude module: "commons-logging"
compile.exclude module: "slf4j-log4j12"
compile.exclude module: "log4j"
}

This works fine, and gradle -n doesn't show any log4j jars being included.

But running eclipseClasspath generates a .classpath that includes the
log4j jars (i've tried removing .classpath, .gradle etc first, but no
change)
