Exclude Test folder and Resources from Gradle Jar build-CodePudding

I am trying to create a Jar to be used as a Maven Repository

I have everything built out and all the classes are ready to go. Only problem is that the gradlew ./build is including the classes and resources from the test folder. I don't want these as part of the jar, especially the resource files under test.

So my question is, How do I exclude these files from my jar build task. I tried

tasks.named('jar'){
    exclude('PATH/src/test/')

in my build.gradle but that didn't work

I am a newbiew at gradle and maven so any insight would help. Thanks!

build.gradle

plugins {
    // Apply the java-library plugin for API and implementation separation.
    id 'java-library'
    id 'maven-publish'
}

group = 'com.project.tools'
version = '1.0.0'


repositories {
    // Use Maven Central for resolving dependencies.
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    api 'org.apache.commons:commons-math3:3.6.1'

    implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:31.0.1-jre'

    implementation platform('io.cucumber:cucumber-bom:7.1.0')
    implementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-java'
    implementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-junit-platform-engine'
    implementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-junit'

    implementation 'com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1'

}

tasks.named('jar'){
    manifest {
        attributes('Implementation-Title': project.name,
                'Implementation-Version': project.version)
    }
}

Gradle does the right thing by default, there is no need to manually exclude test classes/resources from the jar.
