Creating deployed zip file with gradle is very convenient. But what if I want to add some customized files and folders into this file?
According to Deploy additional files in Gradle Application Plugin,
creat a "dist" folder under "src" in the root of project.
Then everything under "dist" will be copied to zip file created by
gradle distZip or gradle installApp.
$ pwd
/home/chad/docs/GDEP-0811
$ mkdir -p src/dist/plugins
$ echo "pwd" > src/dist/plugins/autocmd.sh
$ echo "config1: value1" > src/dist/dep.conf
$ tree src/dist
src/dist
├── dep.conf
└── plugins
└── autocmd.sh
$ gradle clean installApp
$ tree build/install/gdep
build/install/gdep
├── bin
│ ├── gdep
│ └── gdep.bat
├── dep.conf
├── lib
│ ├── commons-configuration-1.10.jar
│ └── ...
└── plugins
└── autocmd.sh
$ gradle clean distZip
$ unzip -l build/distributions/gdep-0.4.zip
