Entry META-INF/LICENSE is a duplicate but no duplicate handling strategy has been set

[WillsterJohnson]

Title is the error message. This happened when depending on embed "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.18.2", I assume it happens when embedding any library with a file conflict

I managed to solve the issue by setting a duplicatesStrategy like so;

// build.gradle

jar {
    //...
    from(provider{ configurations.embed.collect {it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)} })
+   { duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE }
}

This is on the master branch as of c19ab24

Mostly opening this issue so anyone else with the same error has something to try, I'm not sure this is the ideal solution but it at least gets the build to complete

embed is very rudimentary, any processing needed has to be done by the dev, since having a default duplicatesStrategy could lead to unexpected behaviours.

See here for some processing after using embed.

Unless you have an idea of what may be good for a default, I'm open to ideas.
