How to add APP-INF/classes to my EAR with Gradle

I am building an ear with Gradle. So far my configuration is very simple:

apply plugin: 'ear'

ear {
  libDirName 'APP-INF/lib'
}

dependencies {
    deploy project(path: ':MyProjectWeb', configuration: 'archives')

    earlib project(':ModuleA')
    earlib project(':ModuleB')
}

I also have :ModuleC, whose classes I'd like to place into APP-INF/classes, rather than copying ModuleC.jar into APP-INF/lib.

How can I do this with Gradle?

Solution

  • It will be similar to:

    ear {
  libDirName 'APP-INF/lib'

  from(project(':modc').sourceSets.main.output) {
      into('APP-INF/classes')
  }
}
