Hi,
out of curiosity (and because having a fat jar again might be
conventient at some point in the future in my work environment (also no
internet access)):
This solution proposed by Keith does not work
https://github.com/gradle/gradle-groovy-all
?
Cheers,
mg

Paul,
The best solution is to use Maven or Gradle to create an all-in-one (fat) jar
that you can ship and run with java -jar
Gradle has a shadow plugin and Maven has a shade plugin to do just that.
Thanks. I'd come to the conclusion that Gradle was likely the solution
I should be looking at, and I've spent the evening trying to set up a
basic Gradle script that does what I want. After a lot of
experimentation, I came up with the following, which seems to do what
I want:
---------- start build.gradle ----------
version = "0.1"
configurations {
deploy
}
dependencies {
deploy 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.4'
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
task copyDeps(type:Copy, group: "Custom", description: "Copies project
dependencies") {
from configurations.deploy.collect { it.absolutePath }
into "dest/lib"
}
task copy(type: Copy, group: "Custom", description: "Copies sources to
the dest directory") {
from "src"
include "*.groovy"
into "dest"
}
task deploy(type:Zip, group: "Custom", description: "Build a deployment zip") {
dependsOn copyDeps
dependsOn copy
from "dest"
setArchiveName "${project.name}-${project.version}.zip"
}
---------- end build.gradle ----------
It doesn't create a fat jar yet, but I can look into setting that up.
The various existing plugins seem to be dependent upon the
infrastructure set up by the java plugin, which I don't really
understand (or need, as far as I can tell) so they may not be of much
help. But I'm not sure what I need to do yet to write my own.
Something simple like
task customFatJar(type: Jar) {
dependsOn copyDeps
baseName = 'all-in-one-jar'
from "dest/lib"
}
gives me an "all-in-one-jar.jar" that contains the dependency jars
directly included, rather than being unpacked. So there's more I need
to do here...
