Creating Jar with Intellij 2016 - No main manifest attribute

Question

I am getting no main manifest attribute while running the jar create by Intellij. I extracted the jar and observed that there was another manifest

Answer 1

Actually I solved it by adding the following lines in build.gradle

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'class name'
    }
    from {
        configurations.compile.collect {
            it.isDirectory()? it: zipTree(it)
        }
    }
}
