Main class name in MANIFEST file

1

I’m trying to build a fat jar, but I don’t know what I should provide as ‘Main-Class’. The program consists of a Kotlin file, name “App.kt” with a single main method like this:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  println("hello, world!")
}

The Gradle build file looks like this:

group 'com.example'
version '1.0'

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.0.3'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

task bigJar(type: Jar) {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Table of Contents Fix for Hugo',
                'Implementation-Version': version,
                'Main-Class': 'com.example.project.App'
    }
    baseName = project.name
    from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
    with jar
}

But if I try to execute the jar file, I get the error that the Main class “com.example.project.App” could not be found.

What is the correct main class name?

As documented here the main class name will be AppKt.
