How do I create an executable fat jar with Gradle with implementation dependencies

Question

I\'ve got a simple project in Gradle 4.6 and would like to make an executable jar of it. I\'ve tried shadow, gradle-fatjar-plugin, gradle-one

Answer 1

Based on the accepted answer, I needed to add one more line of code:

task fatJar(type: Jar) {
  manifest {
    attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.yourpackage.Main'
  }
  archiveClassifier = "all"
  from {
    configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
    configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
    }
  with jar
}

Without this additional line, it omitted my source files and only added the dependencies:

configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
