Overview

The application plugin facilitates creating an executable JVM application. It bundles all application JARS, transitive dependencies and operating system specific scripts into a TAR or ZIP file, and it also generates the bash and Windows wrapper scripts to run the application with.

Typical Setup

This setup describes configuration of a multi-project build, whose sub-project create various components of the application and the top level project bundles all those in a distributable artifact.
