Usage

1. Have a working Gradle build

It is up to you.

2. Update your home gradle.properties

This will include flag IS_JCENTER (default is “false” - Maven Central, “true” - JCenter), username and password (API Key for JCenter) to upload to the Maven server and so that they are kept local on your machine. The location defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties.

It may also include your signing key id, password, and secret key ring file (for signed uploads). Signing is only necessary if you’re putting release builds of your project on Maven Central or JCenter.

IS_JCENTER                = false
NEXUS_USERNAME            = vorlonsoft
NEXUS_PASSWORD            = $tr0ngP@55w0rd

signing.keyId             = ABCDEF12
signing.password          = P@55w0rd
signing.secretKeyRingFile = ./secring.gpg

2.1. Alternative, use environment variables (optional)

You can modify username and password (API Key for JCenter) from environment variables (useful for CI). To use those environment variables on CI just export them:

export NEXUS_USERNAME      = vorlonsoft
export NEXUS_PASSWORD      = $tr0ngP@55w0rd

2.2. Other home gradle.properties (optional)

This will include JCENTER_USERNAME (default is NEXUS_USERNAME value) and JCENTER_API_KEY (default is NEXUS_PASSWORD value) to upload to the JCentor. Also you can modify JCENTER_USERNAME and JCENTER_API_KEY from environment variables (useful for CI).

JCENTER_USERNAME          = vorlonsoft
JCENTER_API_KEY           = $tr0ngJCenter@P!Key

3. Create project root gradle.properties

You may already have this file, in which case just edit the original. This file should contain the properties values which are common to all of your sub-projects (if you have any). For instance, here’s AndroidRate’s:

# GROUP (default is packageName for Android projects, "" for non-Android)
GROUP                  = com.vorlonsoft
# VERSION_NAME (default is build.gradle versionName for Android projects, "" for non-Android)
VERSION_NAME           = 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT

POM_DESCRIPTION        = Library for Android applications, which provides rating dialog.
POM_URL                = https\://github.com/Vorlonsoft/AndroidRate
POM_LICENCE_NAME       = The MIT License (MIT)
POM_LICENCE_URL        = https\://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
POM_DEVELOPER_ID       = AlexanderLS
POM_DEVELOPER_NAME     = Alexander Savin
POM_DEVELOPER_EMAIL    = info@vorlonsoft.com
POM_SCM_CONNECTION     = scm\:git@github.com\:Vorlonsoft/AndroidRate.git

The VERSION_NAME value is important. If it contains the keyword SNAPSHOT then the build will upload to the snapshot server, if not then to the release server.

3.1. Modify the version name from environment variable (optional)

If there’s an environment variable called VERSION_NAME_EXTRAS, its value will get appended at the end of VERSION_NAME. This can be very powerful when running from CI. For example, to have one SNAPSHOT per branch, you could

export VERSION_NAME_EXTRAS = -master-SNAPSHOT

in this case it will be uploaded to the snapshot server and indicates it’s from the master branch.

4. Create gradle.properties in each module

The values in this file are specific to the sub-project (and override those in the root gradle.properties). In this example, this is just the name, artifactId and JAVADOC_BY_DOKKA (default is “false”):

POM_ARTIFACT_ID  = androidrate
POM_NAME         = AndroidRate Library
JAVADOC_BY_DOKKA = false

Set JAVADOC_BY_DOKKA to “true” to generate documentation by Dokka. Dokka is a documentation engine for Kotlin, it fully supports mixed-language Java/Kotlin projects.

4.1 Other gradle.properties in each module (optional)

You can add POM_PACKAGING (default is “aar” for Gradle Android Artifacts and “jar” for Gradle Java Artifacts and Gradle Kotlin Artifacts) and change it’s value. Depends on Gradle/Plugins versions this option: 1. Changes <packaging> tag in the generated pom file only; 2. Changes main artifact file extension and <packaging> tag in the generated pom file; 3. Changes main artifact and it’s asc file extensions and change <packaging> tag in the generated pom file;

Add VAR_ARTIFACT (default is “true”) and set it to “true” to generate Gradle Android Artifact var. You’ll get both POM_PACKAGING value (default is “aar” for Gradle Android Artifacts) and “var” artifacts in your Android library project.

Add ANDROID_JAR_ARTIFACT (default is “false”) and set it to “true” to generate Gradle Android Artifact jar. You’ll get both POM_PACKAGING value (default is “aar” for Gradle Android Artifacts) and “jar” artifacts in your Android library project.

Add ANDROID_JAR_MAIN_CLASS (example “com.vorlonsoft.android.rate.AppRate”, default is “”) and set it to ${package}.${main-class-name} to add “Main-Class” attribute to Android’s “var”, “jar” and “fatjar” MANIFEST.MF files.

Add FATJAR_ARTIFACT (default is “false”) and set it to “true” to generate fatjar. You’ll get both POM_PACKAGING value (default is “aar” for Gradle Android Artifacts and “jar” for Gradle Java Artifacts and Gradle Kotlin Artifacts) and “fatjar” artifacts.

Add APKLIB_ARTIFACT (default is “false”) and set it to “true” to generate Gradle Android Artifact apklib. You’ll get both POM_PACKAGING value (default is “aar” for Gradle Android Artifacts) and “apklib” artifacts in your Android library project. apklib is a way to bundle an Android library project.

Also you can set POM_ARTIFACT_URL (default is POM_ARTIFACT_ID value), this is makes to easier to have an artifact with one artifactId but the name on JCenter something else.

5. Call the script from each module’s build.gradle

Add the following at the end of each build.gradle that you wish to upload:

apply from: 'https://raw.github.com/Vorlonsoft/GradleMavenPush/master/maven-push.gradle'

6. Build and Deploy/Install

You can now build and deploy on JCenter, Maven Central or Corporate staging/snapshot servers:

$ gradle deployOnServerRepository

Build and install on local Maven (~/.m2/repository/):

$ gradle installOnLocalRepository

Build and deploy on local Maven (~/.m2/repository/):

$ gradle deployOnLocalRepository

6.1 Inter-module dependency (optional)

If your modules have dependencies on each other (e.g. implementation project(‘:other_module’)), then you should do one of the following for proper POM generation

option A: add to top level build.gradle:

allprojects {
    group = GROUP
    version = VERSION_NAME
}

option B: add to top level gradle.properties:

group   = com.vorlonsoft
version = 1.2.0
