Building a uberjar with Gradle

Question

I am a Gradle novice. I want to build a uberjar (AKA fatjar) that includes all the transitive dependencies of the project. What lines do I need to add to my \"build.gradle\"

Answer 1

I found this project very useful. Using it as a reference, my Gradle uberjar task would be

task uberjar(type: Jar, dependsOn: [':compileJava', ':processResources']) {
    from files(sourceSets.main.output.classesDir)
    from configurations.runtime.asFileTree.files.collect { zipTree(it) }

    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'SomeClass'
    }
}
