Thank you for your comments Thomas and Vincent,
Thanks for merging my pull request.
Dear all,
Since 11.4-SNAPSHOT (it will 11.4-RC1 in I suppose), it is possible to
use the transformation actions INSERT_TEXT and
INSERT_ATTACHMENT_CONTENT.
This is documented in
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XARPlugin#HInsertTextContentofaFile

I am rewaking this rather older subject (see
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XAR-source-projects-should-allow-source-files-td7600774i20.html
and older things mentioned there) with yet another attempt which
might
satisfy everyone: an attempt to use XAR-Transformations to include
files
into XARs. It defines two extra transformations:
- INSERT_TEXT (using an XPath expression): inserts the content of the
text file
- INSERT_ATTACHMENT_CONTENT (using a file name): inserts the content
of
a file in base64
The attempt is detailed in
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1614
and has a pull-request and an example realisation.
I claim that this attempt allows project developers to nicely edit
files
and let them be combined into a xar when it is the time. See the
issue
for an example realisation.
I would love your comments.
Paul
