I was moving in some of my .xcf files from GIMP to sit with the assets, and I didn't want them in the end user jar so I tried to exclude the xcfs folder I have under resources. However, regardless of how I do it, it ends up in the jar anyways.

 

Here's the build.gradle:

 

buildscript {

    repositories {

        mavenCentral()

        maven {

            name = "forge"

            url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven"

        }

        maven {

            name = "sonatype"

            url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"

        }

    }

    dependencies {

        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:1.1-SNAPSHOT'

    }

}

 

apply plugin: 'forge'

 

version = "1.7.2-0.0.5a"

group= "com.techshroom.crystalix" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html

archivesBaseName = "crystalix"

 

minecraft {

    version = "1.7.2-10.12.0.1047"

    assetDir = "eclipse/assets"

}

sourceSets.main{

    java {

        srcDirs 'src'

    }

    resources {

        srcDirs 'resources'

    }

}

sourceSets.main.resources.exclude 'xcfs/**'

 

processResources {

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else

    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {

        include 'mcmod.info'

    // replace $version and $mcversion

        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version

    }

 

    // copy everything else, thats not the mcmod.info

    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {

        exclude 'mcmod.info'

    }

}

gradle does not use your IDE's exclude setting when it builds. If they are in the assets folder they get included in the jar when you gradle build.

I know that, if you look at the build.gradle you'll notice I have an exclude right there.

Also, if I try

 

    java {

        srcDirs 'src'

        exclude '**/*.java'

    }

 

It works fine. So I just can't exclude resources.

Move the exclusion into the "processResources" body ?

With build.gradle as:

buildscript {

    repositories {

        mavenCentral()

        maven {

            name = "forge"

            url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven"

        }

        maven {

            name = "sonatype"

            url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"

        }

    }

    dependencies {

        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:1.1-SNAPSHOT'

    }

}

 

apply plugin: 'forge'

 

version = "1.7.2-0.0.5a"

group= "com.techshroom.crystalix" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html

archivesBaseName = "crystalix"

 

minecraft {

    version = "1.7.2-10.12.0.1047"

    assetDir = "eclipse/assets"

}

sourceSets.main{

    java {

        srcDirs 'src'

    }

    resources {

        srcDirs 'resources'

    }

}

 

processResources {

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else

    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {

        include 'mcmod.info'

    // replace $version and $mcversion

        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version

    }

 

    // copy everything else, thats not the mcmod.info

    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {

        exclude 'mcmod.info'

        exclude 'xcfs/**'

    }

}

 

 

 

Same thing.

I suspect the gradle guru will have to help with this one.

 

 

Apologies for necro-posting, but since this is the top google result for "forge gradle exclude xcf files from jar", I thought I should put in my solution.

 

You can exclude using sourceSets, like this

 

sourceSets {

    main {

        resources {

            exclude '**/xcf_folder_name/*'

            exclude 'resources/assets/<modname>/path/to/xcf/folder/xcf_folder_name'

        }

    }

}

 

 

So, for my mod (Minechem), I use this:

 

sourceSets {

    main {

        resources {

            exclude '**/xcf/*'

            exclude 'resources/assets/minechem/xcf'

        }

    }

}
