Hello,
my multi-project build has grown that much, that I decided to split the major
project. At the same time I thought about build automatization, so I
discovered ivy and then gradle and I'm quite intrigued about gradle.
I'm new to gradle and groovy - so I worked out most samples from the userguide
and read the ML for more hints.
My ant-scripts have been created for ant-1.65 and they stil work with ant-1.70
but they don't work with gradle (via import).
I tried gradle 0.8 and gradle from git.
So I'm looking for a helping hand.
All my projects have the layout:
subproject
src
test
res
and they all use a shared library location 'common/3rdParty' for external
jars, which looks like:
common/3rdParty/commons-dbcp/commons-dbcp-1.2.2.jar
common/3rdParty/commons-logging/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
common/3rdParty/commons-logging/commons-logging-adapters-1.1.1.jar
common/3rdParty/commons-logging/commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar
common/3rdParty/commons-pool/commons-pool-1.4.jar
common/3rdParty/glazedlists/glazedlists_java15.jar
common/3rdParty/jgoodies/binding/binding-2.0.6.jar
common/3rdParty/jgoodies/forms/forms-1.2.1.jar
common/3rdParty/jgoodies/looks/looks-2.3.0.jar
common/3rdParty/spring/spring-beans.jar
common/3rdParty/spring/spring-context.jar
common/3rdParty/spring/spring-core.jar
common/3rdParty/spring/spring-jdbc.jar
common/3rdParty/spring/spring-tx.jar
With ant I'm doing this (with later pathconvert):
<import file="../common.xml"/>
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/commons-logging">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/jgoodies/binding">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/jgoodies/forms">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/spring">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<path id="ref.classpath">
<fileset file="${prj.lib.dir}/subPrjAlib.jar"/>
<fileset file="${prj.lib.dir}/subPrjBlib.jar"/>
<fileset file="${prj.lib.dir}/subPrjClib.jar"/>
</path>
So all subprojects use some jars from common/3rdParty, but not every
subproject uses all jars.
I'd like to keep the project layout and the shared lib-dir, but add a (local)
repository with dependencies, where I could install the jars from the
subprojects - to automate distribution.
I startet with a build.gradle like that:
allprojects {
apply id: 'java'
group = 'my.group'
version = '0.1'
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir = 'src'
}
resources {
srcDir = 'res'
}
}
test {
java {
srcDir = 'test'
}
resources {
srcDir = 'test'
}
}
}
}
but I did not find a way to setup the classpath for the shared lib-directory.
I tried:
repositories {
add(new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.FileSystemResolver()) {
name = 'local'
addArtifactPattern(new File('common/3rdParty').getAbsolutePath() +
'/([organization]/)[module]/[artifact](-[revision])(-[classified]).
[ext]')
}
}
but I guess, that was not the right way, as the shared lib-dir is not the
repository?!?
How can I use the jars from the shared lib-dir without caring about the
jar-releases. I'd like to handle the releases in the transfer from repository
to the shared lib-dir.
When does the artifact-pattern come into play?
Furthermore I'd like to extract my project-layout and the settings about the
shared lib-dir to a property-file, that is shared by all major projects
(several toplevel build.gradle). How can I to that?
Any hint is welcome.
kind regards
Geronimo
