Sometimes you need to have resources in your sourceset and these may come from different locations on disk, the official documentation is lacking in real world examples, or at least I just didn’t understand it very well, but from reading forums I finally got it to work.<\/p>\n
In the example I specify what files to include\/exclude from two different folders.
\nWhen the final .jar is created, they’ll keep the package path structure that lives inside the given srcDir folders.<\/p>\n
If you just want to add these files (for some reason to the root of your resulting jar, you should make srcDir the full path to where the files live)<\/p>\n
