Thanks, when I turn to use installApp, it works.
Seems the userguide is not update for this upgrade, both the online
userguide and the one in the distribution zip file of 1.0-milestone-3.
---------------
And another question about it:
installApp {
from 'src/main/conf'
}
This works well but it copies only the files in src/main/conf , not the
directory" src/main/conf" itself. I checked the userguide about the copy
task that this is a feature of the copy task, not a bug or something. So I
change to add a "src/main/app" directory and move conf to under it. Yeah,
perhaps later I will have move files or directory which need to copy. For
example, a empty directory logs for log4j to avoid error the logs dir is not
exists.
It seems wonderful, but the same solution failed in task distZip:
distZip {
from 'src/main/app'
}
The generated zip file is like this:
gradleDemoApp.zip
-- conf
-- gradleDemoApp
-- lib
---bin
The zip task add a new directory in the zip file and it doesn't work for the
additional "from" property. I know I can add additional script to add the
files to correct position. But for the distZip task, it seems a small bug ?
At last, many thank to Adam Murdoch for your quickly response.
