Solution

build.gradle

task JarTestExample(type: Jar) {
    zip64 = true // <-- Add this
    duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.INCLUDE
    archivesBaseName = 'TestExample'
    includeEmptyDirs = false

    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.johnny.TestExample'
    }

	// remove the security files (from mail.jar / activation.jar) so that the jar will be executable.
    from (configurations.implementation.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }) {
	    exclude 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF'
		exclude 'META-INF/*.SF'
		exclude 'META-INF/*.DSA'
		exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA'
	}
