Gradle task to get list of jar dependecies-CodePudding

Is there any gradle task to obtain list of runtime dependencies. Preferably built-in task or task from the 'application' plugin. Or if not possible, using another gradle plugin.

I simply need to manually run the main class of my app from the command line.

java -cp STRING_OF_ALL_JAR_DEPENDENCIES my.package.Main

STRING_OF_ALL_JAR_DEPENDENCIES should also include my project jar.

The task should produce STRING_OF_ALL_JAR_DEPENDENCIES in suitable formatting for use in --classpath/-cp switch BUT may also produce some other format that need some trivial processing before use.

CodePudding user response：

try

task runCP() {
    doLast {
        def runList = configurations.runtimeClasspath.asList()
        println(runList.join(File.pathSeparator))
    }
}

Consider the startScripts task in the application plugin, as described here.

For example, in this project, we have the following dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.codepoetics:protonpack:1.16'
    implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:24.1-jre'
    implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.10'
    implementation 'org.springframework:spring-context:5.2.5.RELEASE'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

If we type ./gradlew startScripts then the file ./build/scripts/WarO_Java_17 contains this (newlines added):

CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/lib/WarO_Java_17.jar
:$APP_HOME/lib/protonpack-1.16.jar
