Gradle War Plugin Change output WAR filename

In Gradle, the WAR plugin will generate the final WAR file with the following pattern:

${baseName}-${appendix}-${version}-${classifier}.${extension}
Example :
hello.1.0.war

To change the default WAR filename, update war.archiveName. For example :

project(':web') {
    apply plugin: 'war'
    war {
	archiveName 'hello-gradle.war'
    dependencies {
        compile project(':core')
	providedCompile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
	providedCompile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-jsp-api:7.0.55'
        //...

Build it…

$ gradle :web:war 

Output, a hello-gradle. war file will be generated in the following folder :

{project}\web\build\libs\hello-gradle.war
