How can I make gradle include *.ftl files in war file

Question

I have the following structure:

src/main/java/com/company/SomeJavaFile.java
src/main/java/com/company/template_file.ftl

When I create a build using gradle, the *.ftl files dont get included in the war file.

How can I make gradle include them in the war file?

Answer 1

Another solution would be to put your *.ftl files into src/main/resources directory instead.

Answer 2

Ok, found it. You simply add the following line to your build file:

gradle.build file (add the following line):

sourceSets.main.resources.srcDir 'src/main/java'
