Create module using 'module add' CLI command with absolute-path in resource-root element ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-1628 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1628 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Components: CLI Reporter: Martin Simka Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky MODULES-218, included in WildFly 10/WildFly Core 2.0.10, allows absolute paths to be used for resource-roots in module.xml. But there is no way to create module with absolute paths in resource-roots using CLI command {{module add}}. {quote} resource-root's path previously only allowed resources within the module's directory, e.g.: <resource-root path="wildfly-controller-2.2.0.CR2.jar"/> With MODULES-218 it allows resources to exist anywhere on the filesystem, in the form of an absolute path, e.g.: <resource-root path="/Users/whoever/mymodules/wildfly-controller-2.2.0.CR2.jar"/> {quote} {{module add}} command could have optional argument {{--copy-resources=(true|false)}} with default {{true}}, which would specify how new module will look like. * {{true}} copy files to the created module's directory = no change from how it works now. * {{false}} don't copy files and use absolute paths in {{resource-root}} instead. Another option could be to add optional argument without value, which would only specify to not copy files to the created module's directory and use absolute paths in {{resource-root}} instead. Name of this argument could be something like {{--use-absolute-paths-for-resources}}.
