How to package html files into jar/war with buildr?

I'm working on an embedded Jetty + Wicket app and I'm using buildr. Right now, Buildr isn't including the HTML files (which are in the main source folder, alongside my *.java files) in the jar. How can I tell buildr to include them in the compilation/package step?

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'm close. Maybe the question I should be asking is how to get the .HTML files into the right place in the target/classes/ subdirectory? I've confirmed that if I can get the .html files in the target/classes folder, package(:jar) archives them. I'm going to start looking at that.

It sounds like what you want to do, then, is treat the java source paths as resource paths. Here's how I do that in a project I converted to buildr after it was already pretty large:

# Uses before_define to default all projects to including their resources from
# src/main/java instead of src/main/resources (& similar for test) if
# those source directories exist
module InlineResources
  include Buildr::Extension

  before_define do |p|
    [
      [p.resources, p._("src/main/java")],
      [p.test.resources, p._("src/test/java")]
    ].each do |res, path|
      if File.exist?(path)
        res.from(path).exclude("**/*.java")
      end
    end
  end
end

class Buildr::Project
  include InlineResources
end

This will put the *.html files in target/resources and from there they will be added to the package.
