I am using the distribution plugin, but need the output to not contain a top level folder with the version number. Rather, just the included contents should be there. How do I do that? http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/distribution/Distribution.html
so if I look at the tar structure, it should be: drwxr-xr-x 0/0
0 2013-12-05 16:59 bin/ drwxr-xr-x 0/0
0 2013-12-05 16:59 conf/
instead of
drwxr-xr-x 0/0
0 2013-12-05 16:59 BaseName-0.1.9/ drwxr-xr-x 0/0
0 2013-12-05 16:59 BaseName-0.1.9/bin/ drwxr-xr-x 0/0
0 2013-12-05 16:59 BaseName-0.1.9/conf/
