Using Gradle to build a jar with dependencies with Kotlin-DSL - gradle

Question

There is already an answer to the question: how to include all the dependencies in a jar file though it's for Groovy
I'm using gradle with kotlin-dsl and the code is not compatible. I tried to make it work using a few ways including:
tasks.withType<Jar> {
configurations["compileClasspath"].forEach { file: File ->
copy {
from(zipTree(file.absoluteFile))
}
}
}
Though this doesn't work. So how to include the dependencies using kotlin-dsl in gradle?

Answer 1

This will work:
tasks.withType<Jar>() {
configurations["compileClasspath"].forEach { file: File ->
from(zipTree(file.absoluteFile))
}
}
There's no need in copy { ... }, you should call from on the JAR task itself.
Note: Gradle does not allow changing the dependencies after they have been resolved. It means that the block above should be executed only after the dependencies { ... } are configured.

Answer 2

my case
withType<Jar> {
enabled = true
isZip64 = true
duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE
archiveFileName.set("$project.jar")
from(sourceSets.main.get().output)
dependsOn(configurations.compileClasspath)
from({
configurations.compileClasspath.get().filter {
it.name.endsWith("jar")
}.map { zipTree(it) }
}) {
exclude("META-INF/*.RSA", "META-INF/*.SF", "META-INF/*.DSA")
}
}
