Read http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/working_with_files.html#sec:archives and https://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Zip.html, and try something. — JB Nizet, Apr 02 '15 at 17:19

@user1513848 you just need a task of type `Zip` configured appropriately. What's the problem? — Opal, Apr 07 '15 at 07:26

Using a custom zip task, you can do something like:

task applicationDistZip(type: Zip) {
    archiveBaseName.set("application-data")
    archiveVersion.set('1.0')
    from ('.') {
        include 'data/**'
        include 'services/**'
        include 'sql/**'
    }
}

Using the distribution plugin:

distributions {
    application {
        baseName = 'application-data'
        version = '1.0'
        contents {
            from ('.') {
                include 'data/**'
                include 'services/**'
                include 'sql/**'
            }
        }
    }
}

To generate the zip, just run the command applicationDistZip
