If I m using a gradle script with the kotlin DSL how can I b kotlinlang #multiplatform

If I’m using a gradle script with the kotlin DSL, how can I build an executable JAR file? I can’t seem to get the application plugin to build the way I want it to

I'm guessing you are using

withJava()

for the JVM target?

Just define application.mainClass and you;ll be good to go

It also depensd what you mean by "executable" JAR. The application plugin will create start scripts for you to setup the correct classpath

Alternatively, you may want to create a fatjar so that it can be run with

java -jar ***

Or you can ignore application plugin (as one of its tasks clashes with multiplatform plugin's) and cofigure jar task yourself: https://gitlab.com/kotlin-examples/transaction-api/blob/master/build.gradle.kts

I managed to set the main class with the application plugin but I’m going more for a fat JAR with the JVM dependencies inside, sort of like with the shadow plugin

The example above configures jar as fat jar

Right, but it doesn’t appear to be using the multiplatform plugin. I found something close to what I want to do in the reply to this post in the kotlin forums: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-1-3-m2-new-multiplatform-projects-model/9264/103

Issue is, in my shadow configuration setting

configurations

equal to that

runtimeDependencyFiles

property doesn’t seem to work because they’re two different types
