Re: [windup-dev] Zip archive as resource in Forge? Re: Discussion: Data files in maven repo

Reading this late; I already "externalized". There are 3 parts: 1st is the actual code to read nexus index 2nd executes it and creates a ZIP artifact 3rd is the ruleset which needs it. And here comes my question: Can I make that ZIP (in step 2) a Forge addon, and then put it as addon dep? Or is it somehow hardcoded to just handle jars.
