Description

According to the documentation the default 'classpath' setting is 'project.configurations.runtime - project.configurations.providedRuntime',

http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.War.html

However when setting this value explicitly using the 'default' value it will generate a WAR which is missing WEB-INF/classes

war

{ classpath = project.configurations.runtime - project.configurations.providedRuntime }

My real goal is that I want to excluded Groovy (for a Groovy project destined for a OSGi bundle) from the WEB-INF/lib so I tried the following which worked but it also had the side effect of removing 'WEB-INF/classes' as well:

war

{ // haque to exclude Groovy runtime from WEB-INF/lib/* classpath = project.configurations.runtime - project.configurations.providedRuntime - project.configurations.groovy }

This is what I did as a workaround for now:

 
war {
	classpath = []
	from(sourceSets.main.output.classesDir) {
		into('WEB-INF/classes')
	}
}
