WAR task should allow bundling classes into JAR (2)

[Ohad1 (Redlich)]

Continuing the discussion from War task should allow bundling classes into jar:

You can configure your ‘war’ task to get this behavior.

war {

classpath = classpath - sourceSets.main.output

from (jar) {

into ‘WEB-INF/lib’

}

}

Mark,

thanks!
but what about the resources?
when i try your example, I do have a JAR that includes all the classes (and resources), and the WAR has this JAR in the WEB-INF/lib. but in the WAR’s classpath (WEB-INF/classes), I do not have the resources…
is it possible to exclude the *.classes, but to remain the resources?

One use case I’ve seen is allowing the ability to easily override classpath resources in the jar by putting them in WEB-INF/classes. Typically this is the case when the war you are building is primarily going to be used as an underlay.

@Ohad1

classpath = classpath - sourceSets.main.output

Try this:

classpath = classpath - fileTree(sourceSets.main.output.classesDir)
