The transitive jars lost in .war file when it's in 'provideRuntime' configuration!

As we know gradle has provided a configuration ‘provideRuntime’ in ‘WAR’ plugin.

It is important to note that these provided configurations work transitively

.

My scene

The tree of dependency jar ‘org.springframework:spring-core:5.1.6.RELEASE’:

\--- org.springframework:spring-core:5.1.6.RELEASE
  \--- org.springframework:spring-jcl:5.1.6.RELEASE

Our build.gradle ( Gradle version: 3.5)

apply plugin: 'java' 
apply plugin: 'war'  
repositories { 
 jcenter()
} 

dependencies { 
implementation 'org.springframework:spring-jcl:5.1.6.RELEASE'
providedRuntime 'org.springframework:spring-core:5.1.6.RELEASE'
}

then I run command

gradle build

to build a deployment file with suffix .war,

finally, I find that there’s no ‘.jar’ library files exist in this .war file.

My Expect

There must be a file named ‘spring-jcl-5.1.6.RELEASE.jar’ in built .war .

Just like following maven script:

Maven

pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>org.web</groupId>
  <artifactId>Blank-deps</artifactId>
  <packaging>war</packaging>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <name>Blank-deps Maven Webapp</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <dependencies>  
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-jcl</artifactId>
      <version>5.1.6.RELEASE</version> 
    </dependency> 
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
      <version>5.1.6.RELEASE</version> 
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
   /dependencies>
  <build>
    <finalName>Blank-deps</finalName>
  </build>
</project>

Download

• URL: https://pan.baidu.com/s/18h7hSA5PY-L-U_afBLDaKA
• Extract code: jhcf

Steps

1. Download the .zip file to local and unzip file.
2. Enter unziped folder, execute DOS command

mvn clean package

3. You will get a ‘.war’ file in target folder when it run successfully. There’s a ‘spring-jcl-5.1.6.RELEASE.jar’ file under ‘WEB-INF/lib’ subdirectory in ‘.war’ file.

Question:

Is my approach wrong or are there other solutions to implement like Maven?

Thanks for your help.
