Removing Jar Signatures in Gradle Build

We are having an issue with a war built from gradle failing to load in tomcat because of a Security Exception specific to a signed Jar. The stack trace is not showing what jar is causing the problem and to get this thing running I'm wondering if I can exclude the signatures in the build when the war is getting built but don't know how to do that with Gradle. In maven I believe it would be a <filter><exclude> tag but not sure if this type of thing is available in Gradle. Any input would be appreciated, the Exception being thrown is below.

To find out if a jar file is signed, you can unzip the jar file using any zip utility tool. If the jar is signed it will contain files like *.RSA, *.SF or *.DSA under META-INF folder.

To exclude these signature files in gradle build , I did the following in my build.gradle. If you are using any other plugin to create the jar than you should check that plugins documentation for more details. 

jar {
from { (configurations.runtime).collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } } {
    exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF', 'META-INF/*.DSA'
}
manifest {
    attributes("Main-Class": "com.nk.social.shareit.streams.AppMain")
}}

My entire build.gradle file is as listed below:-

apply plugin: 'scala'

dependencies {
    compile group: 'org.apache.kafka', name: 'kafka-streams', version: '0.11.0.1'
    compile 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.12.2'
    compile 'com.sksamuel.elastic4s:elastic4s-core_2.12:5.4.2'
    compile 'com.sksamuel.elastic4s:elastic4s-http_2.12:5.4.2'
    compile 'org.apache.lucene:lucene-core:6.5.1'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.9.9'
    testCompile group: 'org.scalatest', name: 'scalatest_2.12', version: '3.0.4'
}


jar {
    from { (configurations.runtime).collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } } {
        exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF', 'META-INF/*.DSA'
    }
    manifest {
        attributes("Main-Class": "com.nk.social.shareit.streams.AppMain")
    }
}

Hope this helps.

With the jar, for example given in this thread I have a problem building a fat jar.

The main motivation is that the build process will skip also some dependecens.

A solution found is the following one, it contains only a small change

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes(
                'Class-Path': configurations.compile.collect { it.getName() }.join(' '),
                'Main-Class': 'io.vincenzopalazzo.lightning.App'
        )
    }

    from(configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }) {
        exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF', 'META-INF/*.DSA'
    }
}
