Executable Jar plugin for Gradle
The Executable Jar plugin creates an executable jar from your project with all its runtime dependencies embedded.
This means, when using this plugin in a build, you will get a artifact_-execjar.jar artifact than can be run like this:
java -jar artifact_name-execjar.jar
Usage
To use the executable jar plugin, include the following in your build script:
apply plugin: 'executable-jar'
// This is the class that starts your application
mainClass = 'the.class.that.has.Main'
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'net.nisgits.gradle:gradle-executable-jar-plugin:master-REL-6'
}
}
