I am creating a spring boot application using gradle. I need to create a jar which include all needed libraries for deploying on (aws) ec2 instance.
I am trying to create a jar by...
1)click on project structure
2)then click on Artifact
3)click on + -> jar -> from modules with dependencies -> select project -> select main class
4)click on ok with default settings
5)click on build tab
6)I got a jar file but it doesn't contain classes.
Use Terminal/Command Prompt to generate jar using Gradle
To generate jar without running test cases
./gradlew build -x test
If you want to run the test cases before creating jar, then
./gradlew build
First make sure you have downloaded gradle and set up in your system variable. to check this simply run gradle -v in your cmd.
Under System Variables select Path, then click Edit. Add an entry for C:\Gradle\gradle-6.5.1\bin. Click OK to save.
Now you simply goes to project directory and run
./gradlew build -x test
Now you get your executable jar file
