Build a Fat JAR
To build a Fat JAR, open the terminal and execute the shadowJar task provided by the Shadow plugin. When this build completes, you should see the ***-all. jar file in the build/libs directory. For example, for the fatjar project a file name is fatjar-all.
Accordingly, how do I add a dependency to Gradle?

What is a fat jar?
An uber-JAR—also known as a fat JAR or JAR with dependencies—is a JAR file that contains not only a Java program, but embeds its dependencies as well. This means that the JAR functions as an “all-in-one” distribution of the software, without needing any other Java code.
What is bootJar in Gradle?
bootJar on the other hand is a specific task added by Spring Boot Gradle plugin that, when the java plugin is present, attaches itself to the assemble lifecycle task. The assemble task is automatically configured to depend upon the bootJar task so running assemble (or build ) will also run the bootJar task.
What is compile dependency in Gradle?
Gradle build script defines a process to build projects; each project contains some dependencies and some publications. Dependencies refer to the things that supports in building your project, such as required JAR file from other projects and external JARs like JDBC JAR or Eh-cache JAR in the class path.
What is shadow jar in Gradle?
Shadow is a Gradle plugin for combining a project’s dependency classes and resources into a single output Jar. The combined Jar is often referred to a fat-jar or uber-jar.
What is thin jar?
Thin Jar represents a compiled and packaged application code (business logic) of the project together with the third party libraries it depends on. Compared to Fat, it does not contain application server runtime by default, so the size of a Thin archive is much smaller.
Where are Gradle dependencies defined?
You can declare a dependency on the API of the current version of Gradle by using the DependencyHandler. gradleApi() method. This is useful when you are developing custom Gradle tasks or plugins.
Where are Gradle dependency jars?
Gradle declares dependencies on JAR files inside your project’s module_name /libs/ directory (because Gradle reads paths relative to the build.gradle file). This declares a dependency on version 12.3 of the “app-magic” library, inside the “com.example.android” namespace group.
