Greetings,  
I am trying to build my app.ear as below

app.ear  
+ META-INF/application.xml  
+app.jar  
+app2.war  
+lib/\*.jars

app.jar is built in the same project which contains jpa code and session beans  
app2.war is built in a different project

my gradle.build file is below.

* * *

```gradle
apply plugin: 'ear'
apply plugin: 'java'

// base name for the .jar files that are produced
archivesBaseName = 'app'
project.ear.baseName = 'app'

repositories {
  //for spring-test third party jar. 
  maven {
    url "${artifactory_contextUrl}/repo1-cache/"
  }
              
}
// for publishing artifacts - right now this really only supports publishing to a local Maven repository
publishing {
   publications {
       mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
           groupId 'com.mycomp.app'
           artifactId 'app-persistence'
           version '1.0.0'
           from components.java
       }
   }
}

dependencies {
    compile(group: 'org.eclipse.persistence', name: 'eclipselink', version: '2.4.2')        
    compile(group: 'org.eclipse.persistence', name: 'javax.persistence', version: '2.0.0')
    compile(group: 'javax.validation', name: 'validation-api', version: '1.1.0.Final')
    compile(group: 'javax.transaction', name: 'javax.transaction-api', version: '1.2')
     compile(group: 'org.glassfish.main.ejb', name: 'javax.ejb', version: '3.1.2.1')     
    compile(group: 'com.oracle', name:'ojdbc7', version: '12.1.0.1')
    earlib project(path:':app', configuration:'compile')
    compile project(":osef")
    

}

// Findbugs configuration
findbugs {
    sourceSets = [sourceSets.main]
}

	jar() {
		archiveName = "${archivesBaseName}.jar"
		
	}

ear {
     appDirName 'src/main' // use application metadata found in this folder
     libDirName 'lib'
     lib {
       from fileTree('earLibs')
    }
    
   
    from('../connectors/directory/build/libs') {
    	into '/'
    } 
    from('build/lib/${archiveBaseName}.jar') {
    	into '/'
    } 
    ear.dependsOn = [jar]
    archiveName = "${project.ear.baseName}.ear"
    
}

```

When I build I don’t see app.jar in the root of app.ear. In addition I see com.mycomp.app.\*.class in the root.

Please let me know how to fix the above ?
