Packaging with sources

[Chris Dean <ct...@sokitomi.com>]

I'm working on adding Clojure support and have a question about
packaging. 

One common way to package up Clojure projects is put both the Clojure
.clj source files and all the .class files in a single jar file.  Can
someone give me some pointers on how to do that?

Cheers,

I would handle that by making a new package type. You can do that by implementing a package_as_<type> method. This method can create a preconfigured JarTask that includes both the clj source files and the class files by including both the target and source of the compile task. buildr/java/packaging.rb contains the package_as_jar implementation. That's probably the closest to what you want.

Thanks folks, that's probably enough to get me going.

Another approach would be to extend the Project class such that
package(:jar) includes both .class and .clj source files (only for clojure
projects).   I'm assuming this is the right default for 99% of the projects.

Within the context of the project, you'd do something like:

class << self
  def package_as_jar
    super.tap do |jar|
      jar.with compile.sources unless @dontIncludeSourceOption
    end
  end
end

(This is really just a sketch/handwaving to convey the idea)
