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

[Ondrej Zizka]

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. (didn't try)
