It seems the Grails Publish Plugin has one dependency on another module, `grails-gradle-model`, and its class `GrailsNameUtils`. However, this is only used to make the first character of a string uppercase, so that can easily be replaced.
I think this split makes sense, if it means we can leverage the publish plugin everywhere. /Mattias Den fre 27 juni 2025 kl 15:29 skrev James Daugherty <jdaughe...@jdresources.net.invalid>: > Hi Everyone, > > The Grails Publish Plugin does not have any dependencies on Grails or our > code.
