Question

I have a jar file copied in the lib directory

I’d like to run “play deps –sync” without this jar being deleted..

I’ve already looked at depency file documentation but couldn’t figure out how to do it

any idea?

I’ve just found the answer: http://groups.google.com/group/play-framework/browse_thread/thread/b54e4e25ae49161b

Gonna google around a bit more before asking here

Answer 1

just like the answer in google groups said, I could achieve it with the following dependencies.yml file

for library /jar/DateHelper-1.0.jar

require:
    - play -> crud
    - provided -> DateHelper 1.0 
repositories: 
    - provided: 
        type:       local 
        artifact:   "${application.path}/jar/[module]-[revision].jar" 
        contains: 
            - provided -> * 

(You need to create the jar dir and put your jar files in it)

so, according to the ${xxxx} it seems like dependecies.yml file is processed like a template… just like happens with the routes file
