Gradle Application Plugin - Do Not Generate Windows Script Launch?

Question

When the gradle application plugin generates startScripts, it generates both for windows and linux. Is there a way to exclude script windows from going to bin / when the distZip task is running?

Answer 1

You can remove the script windows in the doLasttask block startScrips, like:

startScripts {
    doLast {
        delete windowsScript
    }
}

Answer 2

You can use startScripts.enabled = falsein the build.gradle file. Tested with gradle 3.4

Answer 3

exclude distZip build.gradle :

distZip.exclude "**/*.bat"

This excludes all files .batfrom the zip distribution.
