Creating a JAR with a TLD in meta-inf?

Hi,

I've got a project that has several modules, one of these is the core stuff and it's deployed automatically into the web modules as a Jar. That's fine and good, but it includes some tags and so I also have a taglib file. I can't see where to put it so that it will be built into the meta-inf directory of the jar (like the JSTL jars). Is there any way to do this?

At the moment I have to write an ANT script to copy the TLD file into each of the web modules. Of course I could just write an ANT script to build the jar, but that seems a shame since IntelliJ automatically builds and deploys the jar already.

Thanks in advance,
D

This may or may not be the right answer, but I handled this by moving the META-INF directory into the src directory. Now when I invoke the jar task, I get a META-INF with my tld files inside the jar file.

For all of it's sleekness, IDEA really lacks flexibility in the build department.

Hello Bradley,

This may or may not be the right answer, but I handled this by moving
the META-INF directory into the src directory. Now when I invoke the
jar task, I get a META-INF with my tld files inside the jar file.

department.

That's what I used to do as well. What's wrong with this solution?

Hi Bradley,

I must be dim because I can't seem to make it work the way you suggest. I have a src directory which has all my source files in and so I created a META-INF directory in there (just under src) and put the TLD files in there (with nothing else).

I then rebuild everything (just using the IntelliJ rebuild project, not an ANT script) and in the classes directory there was no META-INF directory, would I have expected to see it?

I then went to the Build Jars menu option on the Build menu and asked it to build the jar, which it did, but no META-INF.

Aha!!! As I wrote this, I tried moving the META-INF directory into the classes directory and then it works.

I sort of think that this is a useful side effect rather than the way it's meant to be, but it'll do me fine.

Thanks both,
Denis

Be careful with that. If you do a clean rebuild, they will probably be deleted!

Nothing really, those files just don't seem like "source" files to me. I would have liked a way to specify that other files were to be included in the build like you can with a web module. I was sort of hoping that an intellij dude would correct me and tell me how they designed this to be handled.

Brad.

Usually I have META-INF etc in /conf, and "real" sources in /src.
Both are marked as "source" folders, while staying neatly separated.

This also has the nice effect that I can navigate to it using Ctrl-Shift-N.

What part of the web module config are you referring to?
