Well that is a heritage from Ant I guess, though the statement only adds
a new resourcedir to the set of resourcedirs
It would be better to use:
sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs = files('src/main/java')
Though that would be just a slight change. Also an exclude for
"**/*.java" might be desired here.
Though mixing the sources and resources together might be not ideal,
usually it is not a problem for Gradle.

Hi,
I'm just curious,
sourceSets {
main {
resources {
srcDirs"src/main/java" }
}
}
Is it good practice to define the resources dir equal to the src dir?
I think, this might cause problems including:
* it (at least unnecessarily) confuses Gradle's build cache
* resources are deployed to the final result, so sources might be
deployed together with the them
* NB show src and resources separately in the logical Projects view
and might be confused about this configuration
Greetings,
