Hello! I am creating a Gradle plugin in Java and also writing the extension for the configurations. Is there an way to create a kind of list that the configurations choose from?

Hello! I am creating a Gradle plugin in Java and also writing the extension for the configurations. Is there an way to create a kind of list that the configurations choose from?

allows users to choose from predefined options when configuring the plugin extension in their build.gradle file?

Yes, you can create options for Gradle plugins extension in Java by using enums. Enums provide a way to define a set of predefined options that users can choose from when configuring the plugin extension.

Here's an example of how you can define an enum for your plugin extension options:

public enum PluginOption {
    OPTION1,
    OPTION2,
    OPTION3
}

In your plugin extension class, you can then add a property of type PluginOption to allow users to select one of the predefined options:

public class MyPluginExtension {
    private PluginOption option;

    public void setOption(PluginOption option) {
        this.option = option;
    }

    public PluginOption getOption() {
        return option;
    }
}

Users can then configure the plugin extension in their build.gradle file by setting the option property to one of the enum values:

myPlugin {
    option = PluginOption.OPTION1
}

This allows users to easily select from a list of predefined options when configuring your Gradle plugin extension in Java.

Can you explain more what you’re asking about, “a kind of list the configurations choose from”? List of what? And what’s your configuration for? Can you give more specifics about the specific problem you’re talking about?

For example in Gradle I have created the plugin in Java SomePlugin and its extension SomePluginExtension.java which is:

public class SomePluginExtension {
    String version;
}

This creates the configuration for

SomePlugin {
    version = "blahblahblah"
}

My goal is to see if I can make the configuration of version to be a value in a list like it can only accept version in the list of [1.54,6.65, 8.0, 29.65] etc.

The AI replied saying to use Enums classes, though I am seeing what kind of general practice is used with this kind of situations

#

Any pointers to how I could achieve this?

@glossy tartan this should work

public class SomePluginExtension {
    private String version;

    public void setVersion(String version) {
        if (!List.of("1", "2").contains(version)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid version: " + version);
        }
        this.version = version;
    }
}
