Creating a distribution zip file with Spring Boot and Gradle

Question

I'm using Spring Boot (1.0.0.RELASE) and I want to create a distribution zip file containing the following:

1. The spring boot one-jar created when running "gradle build" (located in build/libs/x.jar)
2. A config folder with some files that are located in src/dist/config

Preferable I would like this zip file to be created when running "gradle build" (but another task is fine if this is hard to achieve). Is there nice way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Something like this?

task zip(type: Zip, dependsOn: bootRepackage) {
    from('build/libs') {
        include '*.jar'
    }
    from 'conf'
}

build.dependsOn(zip)
