Problem with running application - classpath too big

[luke_daley]

Good solution Rolf. You can make it a little more concise though…

task launcherJar(type: Jar) {
    appendix = "launcher"
    manifest {
      attributes "Class-Path": configurations.runtime.files*.name.join(" ")
    }
}
startScripts {
    // clear up the classpath because the launcher jar has it.
    classpath = launcherJar.outputs.files
}

Gradle can work out the task dependencies from that.
