How to include files to be installed alongside the jar plugin ?
Hi,
I am developing a language plugin and I want to bundle in it a TextMate Bundle that will be used for syntax highlighting, quite the same way the TexteMate bundle probably does.
I found in the intellij repository (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/plugins/textmate/lib) that the TextMate plugin has a lib folder that contains the textemate bundles that are ultimately installed next to the textemate.jar, but I have no clue how this folder is actually packaged with the plugin.
Is it possible to declare somewhere (maybe in the plugin.xml or in the gradle.build) that I want to package a specific folder with the plugin, so that this folder will also be installed on disc whenever someone installs the plugin itself ?

You can modify your Gradle build script to include any resources into the final plugin distribution.

Or simply put them into your
resourcesfolder of your plugin.https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-content.html
