Upload to Maven

[josephcsible]

Can you upload this to a Maven repository, to make it easier to include in other mods' development environments?

[TerminatorNL]

Honestly? I don't use Maven, and have no idea where to start.
I'd love to help, but I think you need to help me a bit here, I'm a gradle guy 😃

[josephcsible]

So the name is a bit misleading. Everyone who uses Maven repositories with Minecraft mods actually uses Gradle, not Maven. It's basically just a place where you upload your compiled mod. Popular free choices are Bintray or Artifactory, but you can host it yourself if you have a public Web server. If you've ever done ./gradlew uploadArchives, the stuff that it puts in your ~/.m2/repository folder is what you'd upload to it. (Or if you use Bintray/Artifactory/etc., just follow their instructions.)

I wonder though, is a maven repository really simpler than just dropping the jar in /libs, and call it a day?

[josephcsible]

It lets you use deobfCompile, which means you don't need a dev build with compatible MCP mappings. Also, you don't have to upload big binary files to your git repo if you use gradle to get them.

[TerminatorNL]

Ooh that makes alot of sense.

[TerminatorNL]

are there any specific functions you want for the developer API?

Right now you can run the profiler, and get the last result if it's available. I also cleaned up the code... ALOT.

[josephcsible]

Not really; I just want it to be easily available while I'm testing.

[TerminatorNL]

I haven't uploaded it to maven yet. But I made an API available in version 4.1

I tried to fix this issue in Tiquality.

I cannot get SpongeForge to work in a deobf environment along with a deobfuscated mod. I do not think I can implement this. What I did instead is provide deobfuscated jars in the 'releases' tab, although they're not really useful.

I am actually testing both Tiquality and LagGoggles using a script to install it in an obfuscated environment myself.

If you know of a way to get SpongeForge to work in a deobf environment, I can implement this.

[TerminatorNL]

I got SpongeForge to work in a deobf environment, as well as Tiquality. Bintray and Artifactory are both paid solutions. I checked out https://jitpack.io/, but it hangs when compiling the jar. The jar you actually need for development is packaged alongside all releases (DEOBF.). Ivy cannot download this because of some headers GitHub sends before the file. (No clue how all that works, I gave up.)

This is the best alternative I could think of, and people should just drop that in their libs folder.

I'd like to keep everything in a single place (GitHub!). If you know how to add jars from arbitrary URL's into gradle 'compile', please let me know. Closing this for now.
