includeresource unroll to relative path

[rymsha]

bnd .gradle 5.3.0

Documentation has an example to unroll entire jar to a specific jar's folder -includeresource folder=@jar

Actually, I don't think syntax allows it, because assignment is not part of unroll `iclause ::= (unroll | copy) parameter unroll ::= '@' (PATH | URL) ( '!/' SELECTOR )?`

There is also example to unroll specific files to jar's root -includeresource @jar/osgi.jar!/!(LICENSE|about.html|org/*)

Is there any way to "unroll" and copy files without full path? -includeresource folder=@jar/a/b/* so jar will contain /folder/file not /folder/a/b/file

[pkriens]

I do not think this is proper syntax? @jar/a/b/* since it would try to unroll all files in the jar/a/b directory? As far as I recall, this wild carding does not work. If you mean @foo.jar!/a/b/*, I would expect the files in b to end up in folder.

If this is just a clarification, please discuss it at bnd.discourse.group. If you think it is an error, please provide a concrete example.

[rymsha]

Sorry for confusion, It is more like a feature request. There is no correct syntax for this, it is just an example.

If you mean @foo.jar!/a/b/*, I would expect the files in b to end up in folder.

Problem is, files in b end up in /folder/a/b, not in /folder

Have you tried the flatten directive? https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/includeresource.html

-includeresource target/=hierarchy/;flatten:=true

[rymsha]

assets=@momentjs-2.11.1.jar!/META-INF/resources/webjars/*;flatten:=true files endup in /assets/META-INF/resources/webjars/... (I want them in /assets/...)

assets=@momentjs-2.11.1.jar!/META-INF/resources/webjars;flatten:=true files endup nowhere (well, probably because /META-INF/resources/webjars is a directory record in zip/jar)

so, flatten has no effect for unroll

guess that was worth a try :-(

I am afraid I do not see a solution right now.

I just stumbled upon this. @rymsha even if this issue is nearly a year old, what you asked for is now possible. https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/includeresource.html has now a rename, which is what you asked for here, as far as I can tell. You will find it under the unroll options.

Thank you for an update. I'll try it out.
