gradle: copy war to tomcat directory

Question

I\'m trying to write a Gradle task which copies generated war files to my local tomcat instance:

This isn\'t working and I\'m not sure how to debug it:

Answer 1

I accomplished this with:

task deploy (dependsOn: war){
    copy {
        from "build/libs"
        into "C:/dev/jetty-distribution-9.1.4.v20140401/webapps"
        include "*.war"
    }
}

running it like this:

gradle deploy
