| ## JAR Resources |
| |
| The ability to add resources to a JAR has been added. Use the `java_resources` |
| keyword argument. It takes a `sturctured_src` object. |
| |
| ```meson |
| jar( |
| meson.project_name(), |
| sources, |
| main_class: 'com.mesonbuild.Resources', |
| java_resources: structured_sources( |
| files('resources/resource1.txt'), |
| { |
| 'subdir': files('resources/subdir/resource2.txt'), |
| } |
| ) |
| ) |
| ``` |
| |
| To access these resources in your Java application: |
| |
| ```java |
| try (InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader( |
| Resources.class.getResourceAsStream("/resource1.txt"), |
| StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) { |
| // ... |
| } |
| |
| try (InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader( |
| Resources.class.getResourceAsStream("/subdir/resource2.txt"), |
| StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) { |
| // ... |
| } |
| ``` |
