[FIXED] remove and add project dependencies with gradle/intellij

Issue

I am a Java newbie here. I am thinking of a way to remove all the project dependencies. For example in nodejs, we can simply remove the node_module folder and then do an npm install.

I am using Gradle and IntelliJ IDEA

How can I do the following:

1. Remove the dependencies from the project
2. Re-add the dependency again
3. Lastly where do I see all the dependencies along with its version number in IntelliJ

Solution

• To remove dependencies from the project, simply go to your build.gradle file and remove all the lines containing "implementation", "complie" or anything similar.
• However if you just want to remove them from cache and redownload them simply enter this command in the terminal:

gradle clean build

or in the gradle menu which you can find in the IntelliJ Sidebar press "Reload all gradle projects"

• To see the version of the dependencies you can either use "Dependencies" new feature of IntelliJ, or find them in the build.gradle file.
