title: Gradle - Exclude file from being packaged with jar
body: <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>
