Licenses aren't included in fat jar. about threadtear HOT 8 CLOSED

Actually, gradle puts all of the license files inside the jar file without any problems, as duplicate zip entries are allowed (not in java though). But you are right, it would be nice to know from which library they come from. I really don't like the idea of making threadtear an application as in my opinion a standalone .jar file is much more compact than a folder with bin, lib, etc.

I don’t see this reflected in the resulting fat jar. There are still licenses that are missing.

What tool are you using?

I was using the archive view in IntelliJ, which apparently doesn’t show duplicate files. I still think it would be nice to remove the ambiguity between the licenses. One shouldn’t be forced to use a certain program to view them.

Of course, that's what i also think. Will probably use shadow to handle that.

With #26 I have implemented merging of unique licenses with the same name into one file. I think for now this is the best one can do with the shadow plugin, as neither the relocators nor the transformers get information about the original dependency a file comes from.

Should this be closed?

Can be closed. If the shadow plugin ever gets updated to include dependency information for files the current approach can be improved.
