Create an executable uberjar using the gradle-tomcat-plugin?

Hello All,

I’m using the gradle-tomcat-plugin (https://github.com/bmuschko/gradle-tomcat-plugin) which works great when running the webapp from the gradle project.

However, I’d like to create a standalone, executable uberjar containing the webapp, embedded tomcat and all it’s dependencies. Can the gradle-tomcat-plugin be easily modified to create an executable jar?

Thanks!
