Invalid signature when building jar via packageUberJarForCurrentOS-CodePudding

I'm currently trying to migrate one of my older JavaFX projects to compose-jb desktop. To make the new application compatible with the old one, i want to continue distributing fat jars.

Right now, i'm able to build the fat jar but whenever i try to run it via jar -jar ... it just fails with the following error:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.SecurityException: Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes

I've read that this is because some jars i depend on are signed, so i tried to add the following lines to exclude signature files:

tasks {
    withType<Jar> {
        exclude("META-INF/*.RSA", "META-INF/*.SF", "META-INF/*.DSA")
    }
}

However, it seems like compose-jb still includes those files in the fat jar:

I would really appreciate any advice on how to fix this.

CodePudding user response：

Seems like i was using the wrong Jar type in withType<Jar>.

After changing it to org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar it correctly excluded all signature related files from the uber jar.

tasks {
    withType<org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar> {
        exclude("META-INF/*.RSA", "META-INF/*.SF", "META-INF/*.DSA")
    }
}
