Are you talking about using Simon Tuffs' One-JAR (http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/)? I use this to package a "fat" executable jar in a Gradle script for one of my projects.
I think you have 2 options for using One-JAR within Gradle: 1. Try out one of the few Gradle plugins that some smart people have written e.g. Robert Fischer's OneJar plugin http://wiki.gradle.org/display/GRADLE/Plugins#Plugins-OneJarplugin 2. Use One-JAR's Ant task within your Gradle script. I currently use #2 b/c it was really easy and allowed me to customize my build the way I wanted. I use something like this: apply plugin: "java" jar { manifest { attributes 'Main-Class': 'your.executable.MainClass' } } task oneJar { dependsOn jar doFirst { ant.taskdef(name: "onejar", classname: "com.simontuffs.onejar.ant.OneJarTask", classpath: file("one-jar-ant-task-0.96.jar"), onerror: "report") ant.onejar(destfile: jar.destinationDir.path+"/"+project.archivesBaseName+"-cli-"+version+".jar") { ant.main(jar: project.tasks.jar.archivePath) ant.lib() { configurations.runtime.findAll { !configurations.provided.contains(it) }.each { f -> ant.fileset(file: f.path) } } } } } Where "provided" is a custom configuration used simply to make sure certain things are excluded from the "fat" jar. Good luck!

Thoughts? Thanks!
