Assuming that your app project is using the java plugin, you can do something
like this:
jar {
dependOn configurations.runtime
from { configurations.runtime.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)
} }
}
At some point, we will add a nicer way of merging stuff into the jar. And
perhaps we will add a variation of the application plugin which takes care of
configuring things to create an executable self-contained jar.
