[stringtemplate-interest] load jarred group definition with a a group loader

[Felix Dorner]

Hi,

java version ;-) I have this structure:

com/abcd/MyCodeGenerator.java
com/abcd/templates/agroup.stg

To load this group from within MyCodeGenerator:

private static String getTemplateBase() {
		return MyCodeGenerator.class.getPackage().getName().replace(".", "/") + "/templates/";
}
	
static {
	StringTemplateGroup.registerGroupLoader(new CommonGroupLoader(getTemplateBase(), null));
}

and then:

...
StringTempleteGroup.loadGroup("agroup", DefaultTemplateLexer.class, null);
...


This works well when the whole structure is unpackaged. But now I add all this into a JAR, and it doesn't seem to work anymore, I get 'no such template group or so'.
Does this CommonGroupLoader support loading templates from within a JAR, or would I have to write my own? 


I also think that I don't need a grouploader at all, because the group is on its own, no supergroups/interfaces.

So I could just do an ordinary:
getClass.getResourceAsStream("templates/agroup.stg") and use one of the StringTemplateGroup constructors I guess?


On the other hand maybe its cool to leave the templates unpackaged so I can hack around without repackaging... hmmmm.


Thanks for help,
Felix
