hallo hans,
i put everything in plugins and it seems to work.
build.gradle now looks like this:
subprojects {
usePlugin('custom-groovy')
sourceCompatibility = 1.4
targetCompatibility = 1.4
group = 'com.mycompany'
version = '1.0'
}
for those who are interested in details:
*step 1*
i implemented a standalone project 'gradle-customizations'
with a gradle-build. this project contains following classes:
- com.mycompany.gradle.CustomPluginBase (implements Plugin)
- com.mycompany.gradle.CustomJavaPlugin (extends CustomPluginBase)
- com.mycompany.gradle.CustomGroovyPlugin (extends CustomPluginBase)
- com.mycompany.gradle.CustomWarPlugin (extends CustomPluginBase)
the customization-code defines mycompany-specific resolvers
(classpath, upload) and convention-settings.
*step 2*
i gradle-build 'gradle-customizations' and
copy the resulting jar to buildSrc/lib of
the gradle-builds, that want to use customizations.
*step 3*
i add the following lines to settings.gradle
of the gradle-builds, that want to use customizations:
addFlatDirResolver('lib', "$rootDir/buildSrc/lib")
dependencies(':gradle-customizations:1.0')
*step 4*
i add the following lines to $GRADLE_HOME/plugins.properties
custom-java=com.mycompany.gradle.CustomJavaPlugin
custom-groovy=com.mycompany.gradle.CustomGroovyPlugin
custom-war=com.mycompany.gradle.CustomWarPlugin
Just to mention it for other readers of this posting. There is also a
usePlugin method where you can pass the plugin class (http://
gradle.org/api/0.4/org/gradle/api/Project.html#usePlugin
(java.lang.Class)). If you use this method you don't have to add your
plugin to the plugin.properties file.
this is not DRY in steps 2 and 3. a solution of
this could be, that in the $HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties
there can be declared a resolver and source for
gradle-custom-extensions (plugins).
When we are going to start the discussion on the dev list about how
to implement our new plugin system you are very welcome to
participate :)
Thanks for posting this
