I'm trying to add a task (gen or gen2) to my build.gradle that does exactly the same as the Jar-task:
version = "0.0.1"
apply plugin: 'java'
task('gen', type: Jar) {
}
task gen2(type: Jar)
Running
gradle jar
generates a JAR-file that contains .class-files, while running
gradle gen
or
gradle gen2
generate a JAR-file that does NOT contain any .class-files.
Whats wrong with my class definition?
To build a jar with all the classes from main, as a default jar task would, do this:
task gen2(type: Jar){
baseName = 'gen2Jar'
from sourceSets.main.output
}
You can also do from(sourceSets.main.output){ include "package" } to customize what packages are included.
Alternatively, to copy settings from the default jar task:
task gen(type: Jar){
baseName = 'genJar'
with jar
}
Infact you can have both of these in the same build.gradle. Running gradle jar builds default jar. gradle gen builds genJar.jar and gradle gen2 builds gen2Jar.jar, all of which contain all the classes from java.main

In my Gradle project, I define an additional sourceSet.
sourceSets {
sample {
java {
srcDir 'sample/java'
}
compileClasspath += sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.main.compileClasspath
}
}
I then add a task:
task sampleJar(type: Jar) {
classifier 'sample'
from sourceSets.sample.output
}
artifacts {
archives sampleJar
}
If I do > gradle build the additional jar file builds from the additional source set. However, if I do > gradle jar, it doesn't. any reason why?
When I go through the output messages, I see:
gradle build has sampleJar in the Tasks to be executed:
but
gradle jar doesn't.
But unsure as to why?
Because jar is just the task that assembles the main jar file.
build, on the other hand, is the top-level life-cycle task, which depends on assemble. And assemble is documented as
Depends on: jar, and all other tasks that create artifacts attached to the archives configuration.
Since your sampleJar pecisely creates an artifact attached to the archives configuration, assemble, and thus build depends on it.
I have the following task:
task myJar(type: Jar) {
archiveName = 'myJar.jar'
includeEmptyDirs = false
destinationDir = rootProject.libsDir
dependsOn compileJava
manifest.attributes('Class-Path': '../lib/commons-lang-2.5.jar')
into '/', {
from compileJava.destinationDir
include 'com/myCompany/project/util/order/**',
'com/myCompany/project/event/**',
}
}
and I would like to relocate all classes from com/myCompany/project/event/** to com/myCompany/relocated/project/event/** (so that some apps using my jar and having com.myCompany.project.event package defined will avoid any possible conflicts)
I discovered that it can be done using shadow plugin and I tried to add
relocate 'com.myCompany.project.event.', 'com.myCompany.relocated.project.event.'
under this task but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody know where I should add this line?
You can achieve this by adding below plugin to your build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow'
After adding this plugin add below code to your build.gradle file
shadowJar {
relocate 'com.myCompany.project.event', 'com.myCompany.relocated.project.event'
}
After adding this, to ensure your ShadowJar task runs before build, add this line at the end
assemble.dependsOn shadowJar
This will ensure that shadow jar task is triggered before assemble/build task during gradle build.
On doing the Gradle build, you should see all your packages and their corresponding dependencies relocated from 'com.myCompany.project.event' to 'com.myCompany.relocated.project.event'.
For more info you can refer to ShadowJarUserGuide
Gradle war plugin: how to build a jar and add it to war?
projectRoot/
src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/main/webapp
build a jar (foo.jar) from the java source code and resources.
add the jar under the WEB-INF/lib of the war.
WEB-INF/lib/foo.jar
The war task will not build a jar by default, and add all java classes and resources under WEB-INF/classes.
UPDATE
The War plugin extends the Java plugin to add support for assembling web
application WAR files. It disables the default JAR archive generation of the
Java plugin and adds a default WAR archive task.
There is a way to enable the Jar generation and let task war depends on task jar?
not sure if eastwater still needs the answer, hope others with the same problem will find this helpful
you can add/configure the war task in build.gradle
war {
classpath = classpath - sourceSets.main.output
from (jar) {
into 'WEB-INF/lib'
}
}
once build succeed, in build/libs folder you'll see the generated jar and the war containing the generated jar instead of classes
Add those into your root build.gradle
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'idea'
}
jar{
String somestr=''
configurations.runtime.each{somestr=somestr+" lib\\"+it.name}
manifest{
attributes 'Main-Class':'your_class_name'
attributes 'Class-Path':somestr
}
}
task copyJar(type:Copy){
from configurations.runtime
into ('build/libs/lib')
}
task release(type: Copy,dependsOn:[build,copyJar]){
}
add finally run this command
gradle release
Please note: Although I specifically mention two Gradle plugins here, this is 100% a question about understanding task dependencies in Gradle, and does not require any knowledge of the individual plugins (I think)!
I have a project that will use two Gradle plugins:
The Gradle Shadow plugin, which will produce a self-contained "fat jar" (basically a large jar with all my classes plus the classes of all my transitive dependencies, which then allows me to just run java -jar myapp.jar without having to manage the jar's external classpath, etc.). This will produce a fat jar at build/libs/myapp.jar; and
The Gradle Launch4J plugin, which uses Launch4J under the hood to convert a jar into a native executable (EXE, etc.). Obviously the fat jar has to be created prior to the Launch4J tasks run, otherwise they'll have nothing to wrap inside of an EXE!
Here's my build.gradle:
import com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.transformers.ServiceFileTransformer
plugins {
id 'groovy'
id 'application'
id 'maven-publish'
id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '1.2.3'
id 'edu.sc.seis.launch4j' version '2.3.0'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
group = 'hotmeatballsoup'
mainClassName = 'com.me.myapp.Driver'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile(
'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.7'
,'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.24'
,'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.24'
)
}
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': mainClassName
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': mainClassName
}
baseName = 'zimbus'
}
shadowJar {
transform(ServiceFileTransformer) {
exclude 'META-INF/*.DSA'
exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA'
exclude 'LICENSE*'
}
transform(com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.transformers.AppendingTransformer) {
resource = 'reference.conf'
}
classifier = ''
}
publishing {
publications {
shadow(MavenPublication) {
from components.shadow
artifactId = 'zimbus'
}
}
}
launch4j {
outfile = 'zimbus.exe'
mainClassName = 'com.me.myapp.Driver'
icon = 'zimbus.ico'
jar = 'build/libs/gradle-launch4j-example.jar'
}
At the command-line I run:
./gradlew clean build shadowJar createAllExecutables
The intention here is that I want the fat jar created first (invoked when shadowJar runs) and then for Launch4J to kick in (which is invoked when createAllExecutables runs). But when I run this I get the following exception:
:createExe FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':createExe'.
> Launch4J finished with non-zero exit value 1
launch4j: Application jar doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure the createAllExecutables task is firing before the shadowJar task, and thus having nothing (no fat jar) to bundle up inside an EXE.
Can someone confirm my suspicion and help me define the dependsOn declaration that will order my tasks correctly? Or if the tasks are executing in the correct order, maybe offer any ideas as to what is causing the error?
Once you write
createAllExecutables.dependsOn shadowJar
you'll define the dependency between createAllExecutables task and shadowJar, which means every time Gradle decide to invoke createAllExecutables (e.g. because you pass that to the command line, or other task will depend on it) shadowJar will also be added to the task graph. So in that case when you invoke gradle createAllExecutables the shadowJar will be also executed.
But you can also write
createAllExecutables.mustRunAfter shadowJar
In that case, you won't introduce any dependency relation between tasks, but you will instrument Gradle about anticipated order for those two tasks. In that case, once you invoke gradle createAllExecutables the shadowJar won't be executed.
I think the dependsOn relation is more applicable in your case, since in order to create executables you need to have fat jar already, so it's a depend on relation, not must run after.
How to make gradle to included some dependencies into module resulted jar as jar? i.e. to make jar with nested jar's e.g. in lib folder ?
This is not Android project, and this should be done for many modules in multi-module project, so fatJar, uberJar, shadowJar alike solutions seem not to fit.
You just need to add an additional from directive to include dependencies in your jar:
task jarJar(type: Jar) {
baseName = project.name + '-jarjar'
from { configurations.compile }
with jar
}
