[GRADLE-732] configurations.archives does not include default jar in java plugin Created: 10/Nov/09  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

In a java project, configurations.archives does not contain the generated jar for the current project.

The user guide seems to indicate here:
http://gradle.org/0.8/docs/userguide/artifact_management.html#project_libraries
that the "default" configuration will be all runtime dependencies plus
archives. I assumed that this meant that the default java artifact jar
of my project would be part of "default" and so I could do something
like this:

task makeSodSite(dependsOn: jar) << { task ->
myArgs = '--run-once -p sod.prop'
ant.java(dir:'build/output',
classname:'edu.sc.seis.seiswww.MakeSite',
args:myArgs,
fork:true,
classpath:configurations.default.asPath,
output:project.projectDir.path+'/build/output/makeSodSite.out')
}

But it doesn't work, with a NoClassDefFoundError. I put in a few
prints, like this:
println configurations.runtime.asPath
println configurations.archives.asPath
println configurations.default.asPath

and found that runtime and default seem to be identical and archives is empty.

I think it should always include the jar. Oddly, if you add a project dependency on the default configuration from another project, then it does include the jar, but when you use it from the same project, it does not include the jar.

This is the ivy way of seeing the world. At the moment we just pass this on as the Gradle behavior. If you are within a module, the published artifacts are not part of the resolve. We don't think this is the way it should be and we will fix it for 1.0.

We're using the following (unimaginative ) workaround, and it appears to do the trick:

from configurations.runtime
// include main artifact - see http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-732
from "${jar.archivePath}"

I guess in your case you'd be appending "${jar.archivePath}" to whatever classpath you're constructing for the Ant task.
