Create a JAR containing classes and resources from webapp using Gradle
I would like to create a jar from the contents of a WAR using gradle. The result I want is quite like what the archiveClasses = true setting of maven-war-plugin does.
I understand that the gradle war plugin doesn't seem to do this (as per this stackoverflow question).
Is there a way to do this manually? Say by manipulating the gradle jar task to collect the required parts from the WEB-INF folder?
When I just use the default jar task it doesn't get the resources from the WEB-INF directory.
The reason I want to do this is because I have modularised a WAR and the modules depend on common resources in the WAR (FreeMarker files in my case). I want to be able to test each module by depending on JAR created from the WAR.
I understand I could also create a "common" jar that held all the resources and have both the WAR and the module depend on this, but it would be more convenient to create a JAR form the WAR as per the maven-war-plugin.
您可以添加它以在创建的jar文件的根目录中同时包含src / main / resources和scr / main / webapp：
sourceSets {
main {
resources {
srcDirs "src/main/resources", "src/main/webapp"
}
}
}
So here is how I solved it (not sure if this is the best way):
jar {
from ("${projectDir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF") {
include('freemarker/**')
}
}
I also found this alternative in the Gradle forums but I couldn't get the line resources.srcDir("src/main/webapp").exclude('images/') to compile, but I really like the idea of somehow just adding to the jar task's default resources directories. Edit : I think my first example above is as good as it gets.
