I tried to generate the exe using the gradle plugin gradle-launch4j with the following configuration of the build.gradle:
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'edu.sc.seis.launch4j' version '2.4.6'
id 'application'
}
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// lib via maven
compile group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.6'
compile group: 'org.apache.commons', name: 'commons-lang3', version: '3.9'
compile group: 'org.controlsfx', name: 'controlsfx', version: '8.40.15'
compile group: 'org.xerial', name: 'sqlite-jdbc', version: '3.28.0'
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'Main'
}
from {
configurations.runtime.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA'
}
application {
mainClassName = 'Main'
}
launch4j {
mainClassName = 'Main'
outfile = 'Gymnasium.exe'
icon = "${projectDir}/src/main/resources/view/img/icona.ico"
jreMinVersion = "1.8.0"
}
Exe is generated but trying to run, it not starts. I noticed that it starts if I launch it from terminal using java -jar Gymnasium.exe command.
Is there something of wrong in my configuration? I tried to search if someone had a similiar issue but I didn't find anything.
Note: If I try to generate the exe from Launch4j application it works perfectly.

I switched to gradle 7.0 recently and now cannot build my projects jar, with the error
Could not get unknown property 'runtime' for configuration container of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultConfigurationContainer.
`
Here is my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'application'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation group: 'org.glassfish.jersey.containers', name: 'jersey-container-servlet-core', version: '2.7'

}
version = '1.0'
jar {
manifest {
attributes(
'Main-Class': 'classes.RestServer',
)
}
}
task fatJar(type: Jar) {
manifest.from jar.manifest
classifier = 'all'
from {
configurations.runtime.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
} {
exclude "META-INF/.SF"
exclude "META-INF/.DSA"
exclude "META-INF/*.RSA"
}
with jar
}
artifacts {
archives fatJar
}
Gradle removed the runtime configuration after Gradle 6.x.
You can either change your fatJar task in build.gradle to refer to runtimeConfiguration (as per the Java plugin documentation):
task fatJar(type: Jar) {
manifest.from jar.manifest
classifier = 'all'
from {
// change here: runtimeClasspath instead of runtime
configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
} {
exclude "META-INF/.SF"
exclude "META-INF/.DSA"
exclude "META-INF/*.RSA"
}
with jar
}
Alternatively use a plugin that deals with fat jar building for you. I've tried Shadow a few years ago. This should also take care of files with the same names from different jars (like META-INF/LICENSE) that you may run into with your approach.
Support for runtime configuration has been stopped gradle-7.0, so configurations.runtime is not working.
Task copyAllDependencies worked for me in gradle-7.0.
Here is the example to copy dependencies into ${buildDir}/output/libs:
Add following to build.gradle.
task copyAllDependencies(type: Copy) {
from configurations.compileClasspath
into "${buildDir}/output/libs"
}
build.dependsOn(copyAllDependencies)
I hope it helps.
After building my gradle jar within intellij, my project will run perfectly fine. If I try to then move that jar to my desktop and run it using the command "java -jar ProjectName.jar" it throws and error "Cannot find or load main class main"
I'm painfully aware that this question has been asked multiple times on this website as I've spent hours trying to fix it. Ever since I reinstalled Intellij I have been having this issue. I've tried making a fat jar and excluding META-INF, I tried creating a whole new project and creating a jar within that project. I also tried to use a recent iteration of this project which did run as a standalone and had no luck.

It was working fine when external dependencies were in the separate lib folder, but due to change in requirements jar should contain all external dependencies in it, not in a separate folder.
Can anyone Guide me how can I execute the jar file
here is my Gradle file

}
from {
configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
sourceSets {
main {
output.resourcesDir = "build/libs/resources"
}
}
}
When I execute generated jar it is unable to locate dependencies.
What is the way to execute it?
For my case, with gradle version 5 , dependencies were only added when i used configurations.runtimeClasspath instead configurations.compile, as posted in many places.
Here the full task example:
task BuildJar(type: Jar) {
manifest {
attributes(
'Main-Class': 'org.mycompany.mainclass'
)
}
classifier = 'all'
baseName = 'MyJar'
from {
configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
{
exclude "META-INF/*.SF"
exclude "META-INF/*.DSA"
exclude "META-INF/*.RSA"
}
with jar
}
It will create a single jar with everything.
To run the task do:
gradle task BuildJar //use gradew.bat for windows
It will place the jar at ./build/libs
To run just do:
java -jar MyJar.jar
Use Java Decompile to analise the jar.
"In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Gradle build tool to create a single Jar file with dependencies."
I have the following build.gradle file for my project
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:23.6-jre';
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'Runner.ClientRunner'
}
}
However, when I run "gradle jar" and attempt to run the given jar, I get the error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Preconditions
I can't seem to nail down what I've done wrong here, guava is included in the dependencies for gradle and the jar file appears to build fine otherwise (it only crashes when it gets to the first class that depends on guava). Any assistance appreciated.
If it helps I'm doing this from IntelliJ.
I solved my problem using the solution at https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-to-include-dependencies-in-jar/19571
My build.gradle now looks like
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
configurations {
// configuration that holds jars to include in the jar
extraLibs
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:23.6-jre';
extraLibs group: 'com.google.guava', name: 'guava', version: '23.6-jre'
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
configurations.compile.extendsFrom(configurations.extraLibs)
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'Runner.ClientRunner'
}
from {
configurations.extraLibs.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
}
I've been looking for a solution for this for 4 days now with no success,
first doing the normal Gradle build task produced a tiny 7kB jar files which obviously didn't work, then i added the jar configuration for the main class:
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'Main'
}
}
It's 2MB now!
Still not good enough,
then i found the fatJar/uberJar/shadow tasks, said to be synonymous to the same thing so i tried clean then fatJar tasks on another small RMI app that will run on the server and it worked great, copied it to the main app, it produces and 60MB jar file which looks good but it won't work for some reason,
The app runs perfectly from my IDE (IntelliJIDEA) but the jar produced just does nothing.
So my last option is to consult experts so here we go:
This's the result of the clean task:
6:11:10 PM: Executing external task 'clean'...
:clean
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0.774 secs
6:11:11 PM: External task execution finished
'clean'.
This's the result of the fatJar task:
6:13:13 PM: Executing external task 'fatJar'...
Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
:compileJava

As per the comments here is what was tried.
Making sure a main class is set
Making sure the main class has the same full class name as the one defined
Checking the manifest is valid
Checking the class exists
JavaFX may need a plugin
In the end the last one fixed the issue this was the plugin that fixed the issue.
This was the last comment in the chain:
#jrtapsell Well, this's embarrassing but i'v found the problem, i was unaware that JavaFX apps need a special plugin for Gradle, Using the FiberFox Plugin solved my issue, Thanks for your efforts and may you post answers so that i could upvote you if you like
