How to create executable JAR with gradle?

By executable I mean JAR should run and run well, not run and then crash with unresolved dependencies.

Also I need 1-2 Gradle-style line solution, not dozen lines groovy code, collecting dependencies, generated by some unknown plugins.

Also, solution should work out of the box. No any complex configuration applicable.

I have tried plugin: "edu.sc.seis.launch4j" and it didn't work.

Basically there are two possibilities:

1. Application plugin, provided by gradle. Basically it prepares jar and a handful of scripts to run it.
2. Shadow plugin which prepares an uberjar, a runnable, repackaged artifact with all the dependencies required.
