Hi Not sure if this is exactly what you are aiming for, but for OSX applications, there is also this plugin to create ".app" apps and .dmg distributions: http://code.google.com/p/gradle-macappbundle/
I also made a plugin to use launch4j to create a windows .exe installer which might be related: http://code.google.com/p/gradle-launch4j/ You are welcome to steal any code that is useful from these if it helps. Currently these types of installer/launcher plugins do seem to be specific to the system type. It would be really nice if there was a way to leverage the commonalities and have them more or less work in a similar way. Maybe one day you could say: distributionTypes { mainclass=... otherCommonStuff=... dmg { extra stuff} exe { ... } rpm { ... } deb { ... } } and get releasable packages for lots of systems with a minimal amount of repetition. Meta-plugin maybe? No idea about the likelihood of this functionality being adopted into the core gradle, but I would be in favor.
