I have been using Project Builder for a few years, exclusively for Java
development on OS X. I have built a number of applications using Swing.
In trying to switch over to Xcode, I cannot figure out how to set the
destination subdirectory of resource files.
For example since I generally have a single source code directory from which
I build applications, I will usually have something like this in my project:
package.images --> folder containing images and imported into my project
package.resources --> folder containing text files such as properties files,
xml files etc.
(Most of my applications deploy as JNLP apps so I must have all my files
packed into a single .jar file and using a classloader to pull them out of
the .jar package)
Project builder was slick at handling this... Anytime I added a new resource
file (or rather a non-source code file) I would go and edit the target of
the project:
Build Phases --> Java Resource Files --> Shows me a list of files
In the list of files I change the destination subdirectory to the package
url, Project Builder automatically packs them into the .jar for me.
Why is it like this -- I work from a shared source code directory outside of
the project directory so a file may have a 'true' location like this:
user/tim/projects/source/com/vanns/apps/images/image.jpg
And I am placing it in a .jar file with a package and folder hierarchy like
this:
com/vanns/apps/images/image.jpg
I hope this has not been addressed before. I have been working on this
problem for some time. Perhaps I am missing something very simple. It may be
possible I am not solving the problem the correct way in the first place --
any hints are welcome too.
The bottom-line, how do I use Xcode to build a Java application, and have
all the files - obviously source, as well as resource - packed into a single
.jar file automatically.
Thanks,
