Gradle - Exclude file from being packaged with jar
<p>I want to <strong>exclude</strong> <code>AMAuthN.properties</code> from the built jar. This file keeps showing up in the root folder of the compiled jar. The file is located at <code>AMAuthN\src\main\resources\AMAuthN.properties</code> relative to the project folder root. Thanks!</p>

<pre><code>apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

version = '1.0'
sourceCompatibility = 1.6
targetCompatibility = 1.6

test {
    testLogging {
        showStandardStreams = true
    }
}

// Create a single Jar with all dependencies
jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Gradle Jar File Example',  
            'Implementation-Version': version,
            'Main-Class': 'com.axa.openam'
    }

    baseName = project.name

    from {
        configurations.compile.collect {
            it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) 
        }
    }
}

// Get dependencies from Maven central repository
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

// Project dependencies
dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.5'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
