[gradle-user] Using gradle to deploy to sonatypes maven repo

[Leonard Axelsson]

Hi,

Has anyone here successfully used Gradle to do maven deploys to Sonatypes maven 
repo? This is my first external maven deploy so I guess I should have just gone 
the easy path and used maven but I'd rather use Gradle if it's possible. They 
have a set of fairly strict rules when it comes to what information needs to be 
available and I can't seem to be able to add it all. Reqs: 
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype%20OSS%20Maven%20Repository%20Usage%20Guide#SonatypeOSSMavenRepositoryUsageGuide-6.CentralSyncRequirement

My main problem right now is that I can figure out how to add the packaging and 
developers information to the pom. I've tried adding packaging to the builder 
but nothing happens. The rest of the information seems to be added correctly.

This is my configuration:

apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'maven'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    mavenRepo urls: "http://m2repo.spockframework.org/snapshots";
}

dependencies {
    groovy group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy-all', version: '1.7.3'
    compile 'net.sf.opencsv:opencsv:2.1'
    testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:0.4-groovy-1.7"
    testCompile "cglib:cglib-nodep:2.2"
    testCompile "org.objenesis:objenesis:1.2"
}

version = '0.2-SNAPSHOT'
group = 'com.xlson.groovycsv'
packaging = 'jar'

sourceSets {
    main {
        groovy {
            srcDir 'src'
        }
    }
    test {
        groovy {
            srcDir 'test'
        }
    }
}

task groovydocJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: groovydoc) {
    classifier = 'javadoc'
    from 'build/docs/groovydoc'
}

task sourcesJar(type: Jar) {
    from sourceSets.main.allSource
    classifier = 'sources'
}

artifacts {
    archives groovydocJar
    archives sourcesJar
}

configure(install.repositories.mavenInstaller) {
    pom.project {
        name 'GroovyCSV'
        packaging 'jar' // not working
        description 'Library for parsing csv in Groovy'
        url 'http://github.com/xlson/groovycsv'
        inceptionYear '2010'

        scm {
            url 'http://github.com/xlson/groovycsv'
            connection 'http://github.com/xlson/groovycsv'
        }

        licenses {
            license {
                name 'The Apache Software License, Version 2.0'
                url 'http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt'
                distribution 'repo'
            }
        }
    }
}

task downloadDeps << {
  def libDir = file('lib')
  ant.delete(dir: libDir)
  copy {
    from configurations.testRuntime
    into libDir
  }
}

The build is for this project: http://github.com/xlson/groovycsv

Kind regards,
