gradle-plugindev-plugin

The work on this software project is in no way associated with my employer nor with the role I'm having at my employer. Any requests for changes will be decided upon exclusively by myself based on my personal preferences. I maintain this project as much or as little as my spare time permits.

Overview

Gradle plugin that facilitates the build configuration of a Gradle plugin project.

Hosting of 3rd-party Gradle plugins via Bintray is no longer supported by JFrog. As a consequence, the value the plugindev plugin once used to provide is now highly diminished.

The plugindev plugin is hosted at the Gradle Plugin Portal.

Build scan

Recent build scan: https://gradle.com/s/bzxoqt2io4epw

Functionality

The following functionality is provided by the plugindev plugin:

• Applies the JavaGradlePluginPlugin plugin to the project
• Includes MavenCentral as a repository for dependency resolution
• Sets the compiler source and target compatibility to 1.8
• Adds some build metadata to the jar files' manifest file

Prerequisites

The following one-time setup must already be present for the plugindev plugin to continue to do its work:

1. You must have a user account with the Gradle Plugin Portal
2. You must have created an API key for uploading to the Gradle Plugin Portal

Configuration

Apply plugindev plugin

Apply the nu.studer.plugindev plugin to your Gradle plugin project. Make sure to also apply the groovy plugin if you intend to write your plugin in Groovy.

plugins {
  id 'nu.studer.plugindev' version '4.1'
}

Set group and version

Set the group and version of your Gradle plugin project.

group = 'org.example'
version = '0.0.1.DEV'

Declare external dependencies

Declare the external dependencies of your Gradle plugin project, if any.

dependencies {
  implementation 'nu.studer:java-ordered-properties:1.0.4'
  testImplementation 'org.spockframework:spock-core:2.0-groovy-3.0'
}
