gradle - copy file after its generation

Question

I try to build jar and after that copy it to another folder.

task createJar(type: Jar) {
    archiveName = \"GradleJarProject.jar\"
    manifest {
             


        

Answer 1

I think the above answer is somehow old. Here is an answer using gradle 3.3

jar {
    baseName = 'my-app-name'
    version =  '0.0.1'
}

task copyJar(type: Copy) {
    from jar // here it automatically reads jar file produced from jar task
    into 'destination-folder'
}

build.dependsOn copyJar
