gradle war task generates META-INF folder in root of war file

My gradle war task seems to generate a META-INF in the root of my war file. Is this a bug in gradle?
AFAIK meta-inf doesnt belong in the root of war files.

Here is my build.gradle:

apply plugin:'war'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7

Here is my project layout:

enter image description here

Here is the contents of the war. Notice the META-INF folder

enter image description here

Am I doing something wrong?

Like Jar archives, War archives are expected to have a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.
