That's OK, no rush and enjoy your holidays!. I produce fat jar using the merging feature already. Though, I thought there was a simpler way and you showed it at Jazoon (but I might be wrong:).
Essentially, I use mergeGroup feature it is pretty cool as it allows the build to be more maintainable - I can use wildcards and merge several jars. The thing I'm missing a bit is excluding files when doing mergeGroup. The reason is that my jars all contain some readme.txt file inside. When I merge all jars then I have 5 readme.txt in the fat jar. I can work around it by using 'merge' feature but then I have to specify full names of the jar files which is something I don't like. OTOH instead of mergeGroup I could use merge feature, so long it supports wildcards for file selection. I think I'm missing the concept of 'fat jar' in Gradle. Many times when I worked on a library/console app I needed to stick all dependencies in single jar. It would be great if java plugin added extra task that could produce fat jar (or mavenized: jar-with-dependencies) out of the box. Thanks!
