I have 2 sub-projects

1. Generates the JS/HTML/CSS files browserDistribution task
2. Backend server that needs the generated output of browserDistribution inside his resources to server them static
How can I instruct gradle to do this 🙂 ?

Thank you @Carter. With your build I got mine working 🙂.

There is a difference I am using jvm plugin for the server and js for the frontend, not the multiplatform one.

So I added

tasks.getByName<Jar>("jar") {
    // Get the resources
    val browserDistributionTask = tasks.getByPath(":web-app:browserDistribution")
    dependsOn(browserDistributionTask)
    from(browserDistributionTask.outputs) {
        into("static")
    }
}

and it seems to package them in the JAR.

Would you recommend using the multiplatform plugin for these builds?
