I've been trying to package several Maven dependencies into the released Jar file. On a normal Gradle instance I can add:

 

jar {
from configurations.compile
	.findAll { it.getAbsolutePath().contains("org.squiddev") }
	.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}

 

And it will package all dependencies in the group org.squiddev.* into the produced Jar file. However when using ForgeGradle all Minecraft/Forge dependencies (net.minecraft, cpw.mods.fml) seem to get lost and it cannot compile.

 

My build.gradle and the log are on this gist. I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong?

If anyone else has this problem I've found a solution similar to this:

 

Adding this to build.gradle

configurations {
fatPackage
}

sourceSets.main.compileClasspath += [configurations.fatPackage]

jar {
from configurations.fatPackage
	.findAll { it.getAbsolutePath().contains("org.squiddev") }
	.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}

 

and putting my dependencies under fatPackage instead of compile resolves it. Its slightly hacky but everything seems to work.
