[GRADLE-327] Section 10.4 of the user manual (p. 27) should describe what the Resouces task does better Created: 20/Dec/08  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Jon Cox Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 0


 Description   

It would be nice if the user manual said something like:

By default 'resources' copies files from src/main/resources to build/classes
This happens after the init task, but before compile task.

By default, 'testResources' copies files from src/test/resources to build/test_resources
This happens after the compile task but before the testCompile.

Come to think of it, it might also be nice if the docs talked about
what testCompile is good for, and to give a quick example that
shows how to make a trivial unit test for a java project using gradle.
Given the importance of testing, the manual shouldn't make the
user work hard to figure it out.
