This may have been asked to death, but I can't find an answer. I have a pretty simple java project (not web), its built with ant with sources located in ./src and dependencies in ./lib. Looking to modernize it to either maven or gradle. Since I've had good results with gradle and android, decided to go with gradle. That means I'll be dropping ./lib for dependency management.
However, I cannot figure out how to use grade to deploy the project. I would like to deploy manually for now. So I would need to have jar build from the sources and having all dependencies copied into lib (or whatever) directory where jar is.
So far... I'm getting nowhere quickly.

Gradle Application plugin is perfectly suited for this use-case.
the task distZip
will create a deployable zip file complete with dependencies.
