Gradle archive contains more than 65535 entries

Question

I am integrating hadoop2.5.0 for running mapreduce job and spring-boot-1.2.7 release and getting error while including this

1. Archive contains more than 65535 entries.

My gradle jar dependency

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

2. On including zip64 in jar - I am getting invalid or corrupt file.

jar {
    zip64=true
    from configurations.compile.collect { 
        it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) 
    }

3. On adding shadowJar

   shadowJar { zip64=true }

I am getting error

Unable to read bytes        
at org.springframework.boot.loader.ExecutableArchiveLauncher

How should I make one jar out of all dependencies.

Thanks a lot solved the problem using http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10405970/… and http://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/1310 I added hbase and hadoop as provided.I removed zip64 from jar{}

A quick glance suggests the key part from the SO answer is:

currently the best solution is to declare your own provided configuration, that will included compile-only dependencies and add to to your compile classpath

The github seems to overlap with this, plus the key detail:

I added the following in my jar task of all the sub projects and got my jars spared. bootRepackage.enabled = false
