Package Gradle as Zip

Question

How do I update this Gradle code into the Gradle(Kotlin) version? I want to build my Java application so it can be deployed on AWS Lambda.

task packageJar(type: Zip) {
    into('lib') {
        from(jar)
        from(configurations.runtimeClasspath)
    }
}

build.dependsOn packageJar

The following code snippet is from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/java-package.html

Answer 1

How about this?

plugins {
    java
}

tasks.register<Zip>("packageJar") {
    into("lib") {
        from(tasks.jar)
        from(configurations.runtimeClasspath)
    }
}

tasks.build {
    dependsOn("packageJar")
}

I've added the plugins block because otherwise tasks.jar and configurations.runtimeClasspth are not available.
