gradle plugin provide classpath depedencies - gradle

In my plugin I am using couple of external dependencies
compile "org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:$httpClientVersion"
compile "commons-io:commons-io:$commonsIoVersion"
// tar & xz support
compile "org.tukaani:xz:$xzLibraryVersion"
compile "org.apache.commons:commons-compress:$commonsCompressVersion"
// logging
compile "io.github.microutils:kotlin-logging:$kotlinLogginVersion"
compile "org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:$slf4jSimpleVersion"
When I use my plugin I have to provide them as classpath dependencies
classpath "org.tukaani:xz:$xzLibraryVersion"
classpath "commons-io:commons-io:$commonsIoVersion"
classpath "org.apache.commons:commons-compress:$commonsCompressVersion"
classpath "com.lapots.gradle.plugins.appenv:gradle-app-environment-plugin:0.1"
classpath "io.github.microutils:kotlin-logging:$kotlinLogginVersion"
Is there a way to escape from it? I mean to allow to set only my plugin dependency and other it provides itself?

ext.commonDeps = [
"org.tukaani:xz:$xzLibraryVersion",
"commons-io:commons-io:$commonsIoVersion",
"org.apache.commons:commons-compress:$commonsCompressVersion",
"com.lapots.gradle.plugins.appenv:gradle-app-environment-plugin:0.1",
"io.github.microutils:kotlin-logging:$kotlinLogginVersion"
]
buildscript.dependencies {
classpath commonDeps
}
dependencies {
compile commonDeps
}

How to build a jar from a multi-module project when using Gradle?

I'm working on a multi-module library project which I build with Gradle. I have a dependency to another module of this project in my dependencies section:
dependencies {
compile project(':my-other-module')
}
My problem is that I want to build a .jar file which only contains the local modules in the final file, not its transitive dependencies. I tried this:
jar {
from project(':my-other-module').configurations.compile.collect { zipTree it }
}
but this added all the transitive dependencies as well. I want to create a .jar which only contains my own files, so the users of this library can have their own versions of transitive dependencies. How can I do so?
Further clarification:
I have dependencies declared in my project to external jars like apache-commons. I want these not to be in my resulting .jar file but I want the users of my library to be able to just add my library as a dependency and let Maven/Gradle download the transitive dependencies. I don't want these transitive dependencies to be in the .jar file I deploy to Maven Central. compileOnly is not an option since the dependencies I use like apache-commons are not provided by a framework or a container. They need to be present as compile dependencies. I just want to build and deploy a .jar file which has all the files in my project which has multiple modules.
I am not sure it'll help you or not but, you can try this.
In your build.gradle file, customize your jar task as follows:
// This closure will return the full directory path of folder where your classes are built
ext.moduleClassPath = { moduleName ->
def classOutputDirConst = "/classes/java/main"
return "${project(":${moduleName}").buildDir}${classOutputDirConst}"
}
// Now jar task will include only the built file of specified project
jar {
from(moduleClassPath("projectName1"), moduleClassPath("projectName2"))
}
Check the reference for the from(SourcePaths) method here: Reference: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar.html#org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar:from(java.lang.Object[])
Gradle has a compile-only dependency concept, similar to Maven's provided scope:
Compile-only dependencies are distinctly different than regular compile dependencies. They are not included on the runtime classpath and they are non-transitive, meaning they are not included in dependent projects.
The dependencies you don't want can be declared in the compileOnly configuration, rather than compile, eg:
dependencies {
compileOnly 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
}
compileOnly is not even visible to unit tests, by default. We change this in a common gradle snippet which we include in each build:
// compileOnly isn't visible to tests by default, add it
plugins.withType(JavaPlugin).whenPluginAdded {
sourceSets {
test.compileClasspath += configurations.compileOnly
test.runtimeClasspath += configurations.compileOnly
}
}
For the second part, for which I believe you want to create a single "fat" jar,
I would suggest creating your jar using the very good Shadow Plugin, rather than manually extending the jar task. By default, the shadow plugin will not include anything in the compileOnly configuration in the resulting jar.

How to build something & then include it in the classpath for the build of a subproject?

I have a situation where I have to compile something (drools) using an external compiler and include in the classpath something built by a subproject. I have all the dependencies and classpath items right but the only way I can think of to make this work is to build and install those 2 subproject items first so I can pull them from the local repo. Is there any way I can build and then add them to the buildscript classpath so that I don't have to install them?
So something like:
buildscript {
repositories {...}
dependencies {
...
classpath group: 'this.group', name:'otherSubProject', version:'thisVersion'
...
}

Gradle NoClassDefFoundError in jar dependency

I have developed a custom Gradle plugin and assembled as jar. This plugin has one dependency:
plugin/build.gradle
dependencies {
compile 'com.jcraft:jsch:0.1.53'
}
I have included my plugin in another consumer project (as jar in libs):
consumer/build.gradle
apply plugin: 'gg-release-plugin'
buildscript {
repositories {
flatDir {
dirs 'libs'
}
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.myplugin.plugin:myplugin:1.0'
}
}
Everything works fine, but when code that uses classes of the dependency com.jcraft:jsch:0.1.53 is executed, I get an error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jcraft/jsch/JSch
What am I doing wrong? How can I include the dependencies in jar file?
Seems, you've created a plugin jar library with compile time depnedency, that is not included anywhere in your final jar.
You can try to create your plugin jar as a fat jar, using Gradle FatJar plugin or something else. In that case, you'll have a single jar with all the dependent classes inside. But this could lead to problems, if someone will use the same library.
Or you can try to provide a JSch library together with your plugin jar and make a consumer build script dependency like:
buildscript {
repositories {
flatDir {
dirs 'libs'
}
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.myplugin.plugin:myplugin:1.0'
classpath 'com.jcraft:jsch:0.1.53'
}
}
As I know, if you use a Maven repo to publish your plugin, you can provide a pom.xml to describe all the plugin's dependencies, but as I see, you are using a flatDir for it, so, it seems not to be possible.

In build.gradle there are also several tasks and several apply plugin.
What's the problem? Full stack trace
My build.gradle is in a project folder.
The build script is mixing up buildscript dependencies (i.e.
dependencies of the build itself; typically this means Gradle plugins
with regular dependencies (i.e. dependencies of the code to be compiled/run).
2 needs to go into dependencies { ... }, not into buildscript { dependencies { ... } }.
Everything but the classpath dependencies are regular dependencies.
I get this error sometimes after Android Studio does some operation that tries to automatically add things to my build.gradle file, and then it messes up lines of code in the dependencies block that end with quotes or double-quotes. So I end up with a line like this:
def gpsVersion = '9.4.0'
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:${gpsVersion}" compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:${gpsVersion}"
And as you can see it looks like the method compile has many arguments now. Fix the line spacing and resync to fix it.

Exclude unneccesarry jar in FAT jar using gradle

I am building the FAT jar using gradle-1.3 version and building the
FAT jar using this below properties
jar {
from configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)
}
Dependencies AS FOLLOWS
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir:'/trunk/Solutions/Seismic/Source/Binaries/CommonFunctions/build/libs', include: '*.jar')
compile "org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core:1.0.3"
compile "commons-collections:commons-collections:3.2.1"
compile "commons-configuration:commons-configuration:1.6"
compile "commons-discovery:commons-discovery:0.2"
compile "commons-lang:commons-lang:2.4"
compile "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1.1"
compile "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.0.4"
compile "log4j:log4j:1.2.16"
compile "com.vividsolutions:jts:1.8"
compile "commons-net:commons-net:1.4.1"
compile "org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core:1.0.3"
compile "commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:3.0.1"
compile "org.mortbay.jetty:servlet-api:2.5-20081211"
compile "org.apache.hbase:hbase:0.94.0"
compile "org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:3.4.3"
}
But still by jar is included with following jar as reference
jay,
jline,
jni,
jnr,
jruby,
junit,
junit3.8.1
But i don't want to include these jars
You can exclude the dependencies by adding this to the bottom of your build:
configurations.all*.dependencies*.withType(ModuleDependency)*.each {
it.exclude group: "org.jline", module: "jline"
it.exclude ...
}
This will iterate over the dependencies of all configurations and exclude the modules that you don't want to include.
If you want to exclude all transitive dependencies, it is easier to set the transitivity to false for the compile configuration:
configurations.compile.transitive = false
