This is a sample application written in Kotlin to package the application as fat jar.
./gradlew build
java -jar build/libs/gradle-kotlin-demo-0.0.1.jar
The intent of this project is to get a shippable jar out of kotlin source code.
And to avoid getting entangled in java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError errors.
eg: This branch has code for failing jar which produces this error output
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics
at com.loreans.demo.GreeterApplicationKt.main(GreeterApplication.kt)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics
