Building class-path in war MANIFEST

Old Forum Archive
1

I would like to take the gradle classpath (e.g. compile) and use it to create classpath in manifest file. How it can be archived?

apply plugin: 'war'
  dependencies {
 compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:1.6.0'
       }
  war{
 manifest {
         attributes 'Class-Path': compile
     }
 }

Thanks in advance

instead of writing ‘compile’ you nee to write ‘configurations.compile.asPath’. one downside atm is that this will trigger the resolve of the compile configuration at configuration time. as a workaround you can move the manifest configuration into a doFirst block

cheers, rene

Thank you for your fast reply. I have another question :

I used the asPath and it worked, but I got the absolute jar paths from repository.

Is there a way to customize this ? for example a way to append the jars name to a path prefix which I determine lets say to append the jar names to 'myDir/jars/*.jar ?

Sorry, I don’t understand your question. Are you saying that the war file created by the war task does not contain the (jar) files you’re expecting? Apart from declaring a compile dependency on the gradle wrapper file (Usually you don’t need that / can you explain why you have a dependency on the gradle wrapper?) you havn’t declared any dependencies. That’s why no jars end up in your war archive.

Please consult the war plugin chapter (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#war_plugin) for details about how the war plugin works.
