Feature Request: for creating Artifacts -- have option to 'create gradle task' for this operation

Answered

I'm having issues with the standard method for creating fat jars: Shadow plugin, or the usual ‘fatJar’ gradle task.

Though they succesfully create jars, the jars aren't usable in the commercial app I plug them into as extensions due to various errors, including class def not found, and missing class annotations.

The only way that works for me is manually building a fat jar using the ‘Artifacts’ tool in ‘Project Structure’.

It would be great if after creating the artifiact config, there was an option to create a Gradle task from what I just did. That way I could go in and edit it, make a template out of it for future artifacts, etc.

Thanks for listening

Hello!

Thank you for your suggestion!

Can you please provide more details on the issues you are currently having with Gradle?

Would it also be possible to share a reproducer Project?

Gradle is generally very flexible and there might be a way to configure it so it produces Artifacts with the structure you are looking for!
