Playframework 2 - Avoid aggregation of public assets when building dist

Question

When building application with dist, is there a way to avoid aggregation of assets in a jar and let these assets in a root "public" folder ?

Answer 1

The static assets are packaged in a my-app.assets.jar.

I ended up untaring this jar to the correct location :

jar xf my-app.assets.jar
mv ./public ./target_location

This way I can let the frontend server manage these assets (adding the good caching headers, gzipping...)
