How to create the fat jar with gradle kotlin script
Here is a version that does not use a plugin, more like the Groovy version.
import org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar
val fatJar = task("fatJar", type = Jar::class) {
baseName = "${project.name}-fat"
manifest {
attributes["Implementation-Title"] = "Gradle Jar File Example"
attributes["Implementation-Version"] = version
attributes["Main-Class"] = "com.mkyong.DateUtils"
}
from(configurations.runtime.map({ if (it.isDirectory) it else zipTree(it) }))
with(tasks["jar"] as CopySpec)
}
tasks {
"build" {
dependsOn(fatJar)
}
}

Some commenters pointed out that this does not work anymore with newer Gradle versions. Update tested with Gradle 5.4.1:
import org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar
val fatJar = task("fatJar", type = Jar::class) {
baseName = "${project.name}-fat"
manifest {
attributes["Implementation-Title"] = "Gradle Jar File Example"
attributes["Implementation-Version"] = version
attributes["Main-Class"] = "com.mkyong.DateUtils"
}
from(configurations.runtimeClasspath.get().map({ if (it.isDirectory) it else zipTree(it) }))
with(tasks.jar.get() as CopySpec)
}
tasks {
"build" {
dependsOn(fatJar)
}
}
Note the difference in configurations.runtimeClasspath.get()
and with(tasks.jar.get() as CopySpec)
.
Here is how to do it as of Gradle 6.5.1, Kotlin/Kotlin-Multiplatform 1.3.72, utilizing a build.gradle.kts file and without using an extra plugin which does seem unnecessary and problematic with multiplatform;
Note: in reality, few plugins work well with the multiplatform plugin from what I can tell, which is why I suspect its design philosophy is so verbose itself. It's actually fairly elegant IMHO, but not flexible or documented enough so it takes a ton of trial and error to setup even WITHOUT additional plugins.
Hope this helps others.
