Jar with images

Hello LightDruid,

You need to set off "source folder" mark from icons folder and use "Copy
module output" option.

Also you need to have *.png files in the list of Settings / Compiler / Resource
patterns, but this is already done.

Is it possible to create pure resource jar? I'm working on swing
application, just added one module, the layout looks like this:

resources -> icons -> abcd.png

Then in project structure I marked resources and icons as source
folders, then in Build - Build Jars.. I checked module to Jar. When
I'm choosing packaging method "Copy module output to..." IDEA produces
resources.jar with 'META-INF' and 'abcd.png', there is no
'icons/abcd.png'. If I choose "Jar module output and copy file to..."
it produces resources.jar which contains resources.jar again which
contains 'META-INF' and 'abcd.png', but still no 'icons/abcd.png'.

Is it possible to force it to produce original package layout, like
'icons/...'?

Thank you in advance.

Alexander.

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for response, but it looks like it does not work. This is original layout and contents of the jar file:

$ ls -lR resources
resources:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 as mkpasswd 0 Feb 28 17:26 icons
-rw-rr 1 as mkpasswd 961 Feb 28 17:28 resources.iml
-rw-rr 1 as mkpasswd 216 Feb 28 17:30 resources.jar

resources/icons:
total 11
-rw-rr 1 as mkpasswd 11042 Sep 3 22:07 tix.png

$ jar tf resources/resources.jar
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Hello LightDruid,

Have you compiled your module before making jar? Jar builder takes compiler's
output, so, this output should exist before jarring.
If the module contains no java files, compiler just copies resources to the
output folder.

Hello, Alexander,

Thank you very much! I didn't compile it, that's the problem. Now it's ok!
