Maven Publish build.gradle, I need some help.

[leaden copper]

I need help with publishing my gradle project to my maven public repo with the maven-publish plugin?

[glass wasp]

just use maven lol

[leaden copper]

Is there a way that I can switch my project from gradle to maven?

[honest spindle]

dont

[leaden copper]

Don't?

[honest spindle]

some prefer gradle, some prefer maven

its not difficult with gradle either

[leaden copper]

What is better ?

Gradle seems to be working 10x time faster for me.

[honest spindle]

idk im stupid

[leaden copper]

Well what do you use 😂

[honest spindle]

gradle :)

[leaden copper]

Oh, do you know how to do it then ?

[honest spindle]

never published to public tho

[leaden copper]

Welll I need to do it locally.

[honest spindle]

https://docs.gradle.org/8.8/userguide/publishing_maven.html
i followed this i think

[leaden copper]

Not public sorry.

[hazy elbow]

use whatever build system you feel most comfortable using

if you just want it local you can just run the publishToMavenLocal with adding a publishing config

groovy or kotlin dsl?

[honest spindle]

publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
from components.java

        artifactId = "tottoriutils"
    }
}

}

my publishing task for gradle 8.8 for reference

[leaden copper]

Idk what that is 😂

[hazy elbow]

no pointin adding mavenLocal there

there is task for it

[honest spindle]

oh true

[hazy elbow]

is ur build file build.gradle or build.gradle.kts

[leaden copper]

Oh I use build.gradle.

[hazy elbow]

add ```

publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}

then just run the publishToMavenLocal task and its on your maven local, to use it make sure you have mavenLocal() in the repositories

[honest spindle]

for me the casing was wrong tho

@leaden copper See https://reposilite.com/guide/gradle

[leaden copper]

oh okay

well i'm having the following issue

Build file 'C:\Users\andre\Desktop\MC-Plugins\Library\build.gradle' line: 8

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'Library'.
> Could not find method publishing() for arguments [build_b2ltjvj9w4m8zjs6sl3xxs8xr$_run_closure1@5e807a9a] on root project 'Library' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

[leaden copper]

where exactly does this go into?

[hazy elbow]

the the build.gradle, it should be its own declaration

[leaden copper]

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.ancho.library'
version = '1.0'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url = 'https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/'
        
        content {
            includeGroup 'org.bukkit'
            includeGroup 'org.spigotmc'
        }
    }

    maven { url = 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }
    maven { url = 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/central' }
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation platform('org.junit:junit-bom:5.10.0')
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter'

    implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.12.0'

    compileOnly 'org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.20.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'
    compileOnly 'org.spigotmc:spigot:1.20.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

publishing {
    publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}```

You need to add the maven-publish plugin

[leaden copper]

This is my build.gradle.

oh

[ebon imp]

id 'maven-publish' I believe

[leaden copper]

yeap

'maven' cannot be applied to '(java.lang.Class<org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication>, groovy.lang.Closure<org.gradle.api.publish.Publication>)'

Cannot infer argument types

[ebon imp]

Also if you're depending on the spigot server, no need to depend on the API nor depend on apache commons lang

[leaden copper]

these are just warnings, but they're not gonna cause any issues, right?

[ebon imp]

It's create(MavenPublication)

[leaden copper]

publishing {
    publications {
        create(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java

            groupId = 'com.ancho.library'
            artifactId = 'AnchoLibrary'
            version = '1.0'
        }
    }
}``` This is the correct one, right?

[ebon imp]

Yea

You're also gonna have to add a repo to publish to

[leaden copper]

Well I wanna publish it locally.

[ebon imp]

Oh yeah then that's enough

[leaden copper]

so mavenLocal()?

[ebon imp]

the publishToMavenLocal task exists, you don't need to add a repo

[leaden copper]

then just

implementation 'com.ancho.library:AnchoLibrary:1.0'

right?

[ebon imp]

Yeah, make sure to add your local maven repo

[leaden copper]

with mavenLocal()

[ebon imp]

Yeap

[leaden copper]

yeah mavenLocal() should be good into the repositories, right?

[ebon imp]

Yes

[leaden copper]

Perfect, thank you so much mate!
