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

The same task can be achieved using Gradle Kotlin DSL in a similar way:

val jar by tasks.getting(Jar::class) {
    manifest {
        attributes["Main-Class"] = "com.package.YourClass"
    }

    from(configurations
        .runtime
        // .get() uncomment this on Gradle 6+
        // .files
        .map { if (it.isDirectory) it else zipTree(it) })
}
