Javalin Gradle ShadowJar Example

This example has been moved to the official javalin/javalin-samples repo. This repository will be archived.

This project demonstrates how to create a shadow jar, also known as fat jar or uber jar with the Javalin library as an example.

Requirements

• Java 17
• Gradle 8 (provided by the Gradle Wrapper ./gradlew)
• Gradle Shadow Plugin

Creating a shadow jar

Run ./gradlew shadowJar. The resulting jar file app/build/libs/app-all.jar can now be run with java -jar app/build/libs/app-all.jar when inside the default working directory.

./gradlew shadowJar
cd app/build/libs
java -jar app-all.jar
