ComponentModuleMetadataHandler

Allows to modify the metadata of depended-on software components.

Example:

dependencies {
    modules {
        //Configuring component module metadata for the entire "google-collections" module,
        // declaring that legacy library was replaced with "guava".
        //This way, Gradle's conflict resolution can use this information and use "guava"
        // in case both libraries appear in the same dependency tree.
        module("com.google.collections:google-collections") {
            replacedBy("com.google.guava:guava")
        }
    }
}
