Extract required libraries into generated Jar with Gradle

Question

I'm trying to build a (fat) jar with gradle to the likes of what is being generated by eclipse when choosing export->runnable jar and the option Extract required libraries into generated.

Eclipse extracts all linked jars into the new jar. In ant this looks like this:

<zipfileset excludes="META-INF/*.SF" src="./lib/soot-trunk.jar"/>

How can I do the same thing with gradle?

Answer 1

In order to create a fat jar this plugin is used. You need to invoke a shadowJar task.
