I'm running into some trouble with a library I included into my project: 
At the beginning it was just a conflicting dependencies issue that I resolved by excluding 
`support-v4` which is the commonly shared module. 

The problem is that one of those `lbsLib-release` seems to have been built with a plain `.jar` file inside of the root project before the developer build. 

By running `./gradlew app:dependencies` I verified that the dependency is not referenced in the build graph.

And I found this `support-v4` embedded into the `classes.jar` located 
at : **`app/build/intermedites/exploded-aar/MyQaaAndroid/lbsLib-release/unspecified/classes.jar/`** as you can see on the picture below:

I can't rebuild the project myself because it is not an open-sourced lib, so there is two problem: 

1. If I add `compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'` to the `build.gradle` a `multiple dex file` error is thrown at build time so the library is referenced twice.

```
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/app/BackStackState;

```

`
2. If I remove all libs which require `support-v4` it throws a missing dependencies error at the application runtime.

So I would like to know if it is possible to exclude this `.jar` file from the build or to make the others libs depends on the `lbsLib-release` embedded `support-v4` `.jar`.

```
compile (project(':lbsLib-release')) {
    exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

compile ('com.sothree.slidinguppanel:library:2.0.4'){
    exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

compile('com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87') {
    exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

```
