How do I add a .properties file into my WAR using gradle? The file was later introduced into the project but doesn't get added?

build.gradle

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod  group = 'gradle' version = '1.0'  apply plugin: 'war' apply plugin: 'jetty' apply plugin: 'eclipse'  eclipseProject  {   projectName = 'crap' }  defaultTasks 'build'  dependencies  {    //all my dependencies }  war  {           classpath fileTree('lib') }  jar.enabled = true  [jettyRun, jettyRunWar]*.daemon = true stopKey = 'stoppit' stopPort = 9451 httpPort = 8080 scanIntervalSeconds = 1 

Answer 1

war {     from('<path-to-props-file>') {         include 'myApp.properties'         into('<target-path>')     } } 

Answer 2

Something like this should work:

war {     from('<path-to-props-file>') {         include 'myApp.properties'     } } 

If you want to specify which directory you want the properties file to be located in:

war {      from('<path-to-props-file>') {          include 'myApp.properties'          into('<targetDir>')      } }
