Project can be exported as a library usable from other projects. The exported library makes all types (classes, modules, …) and resources (images, shaders, …) available for import.

These libraries are called module lib.

Tutorial on creating and using a module lib here.

Module lib follow the structure of GroIMP plugins. Thus, how the lib is integrated is described in the plugin.xml file, automatically created when exported.

All resources included in the project are added to a compiled resource zip (.grz file), that is automatically created when exported. The resources from this zip are loaded by GroIMP on startup, and made available through the imported types and references.

The references can resolve resources from a module lib in the GroIMP path with the name: plg:{package name}.{plugin name}:{resource name}.

The classes in the project are exported compiled.

By default, .rgg types are compiled without a package. It makes them all visible from the same pool. However, for ensuring a uniqueness when importing module library, a package name is required during the export. GroIMP will use the given package name as default package during the compilation.

Thus, if the project contains type with named package, they will not be affected by the package name provided.

The package name must follow java's specification on package name.
