Copy libs and dependency to directory in Gradle

gradle_copy.md

Solution-1

Using two tasks to copy dependencies and subproject jars

task appLibs(type: Copy) {
    def jars=[]
    subprojects.each {
        jars+=it.libsDir
    }
    from jars
    into 'build/dist'
}

task depLibs(type: Copy) {
    into "build/dist"
    from subprojects.collect { it.configurations.compile }
}

Solution-2

Single task

task appLibs(type: Copy) {

    into 'build/dist'
    def jars=[]
    subprojects.each {
        jars+=it.libsDir
    }
    from jars
    from subprojects.collect { it.configurations.compile }
    exclude '*-sources.jar'

}
