There appears to be some misunderstanding on your side. Perhaps this is what
you want:
void apply(Project project) {
// this makes the members of DeployPluginConvention available on
'project' (NOT on 'project.deploy')
// the DeployPluginConvention object is internally stored under the key
'deploy',
// which makes it possible to access its members even from tasks/plugins
written in Java
// (e.g. with
'project.getConvention().getPlugins().get("deploy").getApplicationName()')
project.convention.plugins.deploy = new DeployPluginConvention()
// printing out 'applicationName' doesn't make sense here
// because it will only be set further down in the build script
// println "Configuring deploy for $project.applicationName"
def deploy = project.tasks.add("deploy", DeployTask)
// need to set 'earPath' lazily (again because the value for
'applicationName' isn't available yet)
// this is done using Gradle's 'convention mapping' mechanism
deploy.conventionMapping.earPath = { project.applicationName + ".ear" }
}
Disclaimer: I didn't compile or run this code. Usage from build.gradle:
apply plugin: DeployPlugin
applicationName = "foo"
If you want this to be 'deploy.applicationName = "foo"', you'll have to wrap
the DeployPluginConvention object with an object that has a 'deploy'
property, or change installation of the convention object to 'project.deploy
= new DeployPluginConvention()', or use the 'extension' mechanism introduced
in Gradle 1.0-milestone-4. From milestone 4 onwards, the latter is the best
option.
