Gradle, Java plugin, Jar MANIFEST, Class-Path is empty ====================================================== I struggled with with the jar MANIFEST file built with Gradle containing an empty `Class-Path`. I traced down the problem to the order of the `dependencies` and `jar` blocks in the `build.gradle` file: Wrong (`jar` before `dependencies`): ```gradle jar { manifest.attributes( // Class-Path won't contain "guava-15.0.jar" 'Class-Path': configurations.runtime.files.collect { it.name }.join(' ') ) } repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { compile group: 'com.google.guava', name: 'guava', version: '15.0' } ``` Correct (`jar` after `dependencies`): ```gradle repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { compile group: 'com.google.guava', name: 'guava', version: '15.0' } jar { manifest.attributes( // results in "Class-Path: guava-15.0.jar" 'Class-Path': configurations.runtime.files.collect { it.name }.join(' ') ) } ```
