Does anyone know about a Gradle plugin that allows to embed metadata about Java / Kotlin resources into the compiled JAR? For example, I'd like to get the source code path (relative to the repository root) of a resource at runtime of the application.

Maybe just using <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/building_java_projects.html#sec:jar_manifest> is the way to go ...

Or via <https://github.com/coditory/gradle-manifest-plugin>.

Manifest becomes problematic when shading dependencies.

Right,  I decided to go with <https://github.com/gmazzo/gradle-buildconfig-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#generate-constants-from-resources-files> after all.
