Best directory for Gradle build resources (e.g. license header template)

Question

I'm looking for the appropriate location to place resources that are used by the build, like a license header template file or a file with code formatter settings.

The buildSrc seems like the most appropiate place (eg buildSrc/src/main/resources ), but I only found it mentioned in the context of Build sources .

Another option would be src/build/resources . Perhaps there are better locations I didn't consider.

What would be the most appropriate directory for these resources?

Answer 1

In many gradle builds the convention of using $rootproject/gradle as folder for build resources has been established. you can have a config folder to store your license files / checkstyle configs etc. in there.
