Question

I am using Gradle 1.3 and have it working for a small project. It creates the .JAR files exactly as I want them to. However, when I have it create a ZIP file using distZip

Answer 1

Try this by adding below lines in build.gradle file:

distributions {
    main {
        baseName = 'ClassName'
        contents {
            exclude("**/*.jar")
        }
    }
}
