Packaging my angular 2 project dist folder as an asset bundle for dropwizard application

Question

I am currently using angular2 with dropwizard .

By default Dropwizard application looks up an asset bundle from src/main/resources within the project module.

I am currently using angular2 and angular-cli to create angular builds. The angular cli's ng build command generates the javascripts in the dist folder that is outside the src folder.

1. How can I make dist folder available for dropwizard to be able to serve it as an asset bundle?

2. Which maven plugins can I use to accomplish the above and create a jar that is available for dropwizard to serve from classpath?

Thanks

You can change the build directory by editing the outDir in your .angular-cli.json

.angular-cli.json

 {
  ...
  "apps": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "src/main/resources",
      ...
    }
   ]
  ...
}

See Angular CLI Config Schema for all the angular-cli options.
