How can I include resources in a kotlin jar file created on the command line? With java I can just do

jar cfm File.jar manifest.txt File.class resource.txt resourceDirectory

In Kotin on the command line we can use

kotlinc -d File.jar file.kt

to create a jar file, but I cannot add non kotlin files into the jar the same way I can with Java. Does anyone know if this is possible on the command line without gradle/maven and how can I do it?

I'd also like to be able to include the Kotlin runtime in the jar

Use `-d someDirectory` and then create a jar with the jar command? – JB Nizet Jan 14 '20 at 21:36
Keep in mind jar files are just zip files, so you can always use zip command line tools if you are stuck. – PiRocks Jan 14 '20 at 23:14
