The Griffon Trove: compiling additional sources

Posted by: Andres Almiray on 05/25/2012

The Griffon build automatically compiles all Java & Groovy sources found under src/main. Follow these steps should you require additional sources to be compiled during the same compilation step

  1. Create a file named _Events.groovy under the scripts directory.
  2. Create a build event handler that configures the new path. The handler must react to a particular build event. Either CompileStart or CompileSourcesStart will do the trick.
Note that you can define relative and absolute paths. This tip works in both plugin and application projects.

Keep on Groovying!
