Add external resources to jar in gradle from another project

问题

I have a project that has a "resources" library (not java based). It simply contains a hierarchy of files that are used by multiple java projects

library
   files
   binaries
   etc

In one of my java projects, I want to include these files in the assembled jar file

// current definition of a sample project
project("java_project") {
 // dependencies omitted

 jar {
    from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }

    manifest {
        attributes("Main-Class": "mymainclass")
    }
  }
}

project("library") { 
  // is in settings.gradle 
}

How would I update the jar with the other project resources? I need them outside of the project because the same resources are shared by multiple projects.

回答1:

Perhaps someone will have a better solution but I added the following to the jar closure:

from { fileTree(dir: "library") }

I then can control the files with the exclude and include filters:
