Hello gradle.
In my spare time I try to move my eclipse rcp releng project from
pde-build to gradle.
I use the following lines of gradle script to package my whole
application including third party eclipse bundles:
dependencies {
addFlatDirResolver('lib',
target_plugins).addArtifactPattern(target_plugins+'/[artifact]_[revision].[ext]')
compile rcp_bundles
}
dists {
zip() {
files(dependencies.resolve("runtime")) // add dependencies
to zip
}
}
but this produces the following error message:
Build file
'/Users/Rene/workspaces/sandbox/gradle/com.breskeby.samples.gradlercp.rcp/build.gradle'
line(s): 38, 37, 36
A problem occurred evaluating project :.
Cause: [Ljava.util.ArrayList;
The line which causes this error is:
file(dependencies.resolve("runtime"))
anybody an idea?
This error is because the return type of resolve() is List, and the
parameter of files() is String[].
To work around this, you can do something like:
files(dependencies.resolve("runtime") as String[])
One thing to note is that the closure passed to zip() is executed when
the project is evaluated, not when the zip task is executed. Not
everything in the 'runtime' configuration will necessarily available at
that point, if the configuration includes dependencies from other
projects. In that case, you need something like:
dists {
zip() {
doFirst { task ->
task.files(dependencies.resolve("runtime"))
}
}
It would be good if we had a nicer way to include the artifacts from a
configuration in an archive which dealt with the above issues. For
example, if we had a Configuration domain object and it implemented
FileCollection, you could just add the configuration object to the archive.
