Hey,
I'm reluctant to add additional properties to the dependency notation
to satisfy the ear plugin. However, we can surely figure out some
other way to configure such behavior :)
BTW. I think you can already achieve what you need with vanilla
Gradle. Have your war project configure a 'flat' configuration:
configurations {
flat
}
task flatWar(type: War, dependsOn: classes) {
classpath = sourceSets.main.output
}
artifacts {
flat flatWar
}
Then in your ear project:
dependencies {
deploy project(path: ':myWebApp', configuration: 'flat')
}
Cheers!
