Joda-Beans plugin for Gradle

This project provides a Gradle plugin for Joda-Beans. This is basically a copy of the Joda-Beans Maven Plugin

Usage in your gradle build

The plugin is available from JCenter and Maven Central. From version 1.0.4 on this plugin only works with Gradle versions >= 3.4 You need a compile or api dependency to Joda-Beans (any version >= 1.2) for your project. If you're using versions of the plugin prior to 1.0.3, an explicit buildscript dependency to Joda-Beans is needed.

Dependency for versions from 1.0.5

From version 1.0.5 onwards the ID of the plugin has changed to org.kiirun.joda-beans and it is also available through the Gradle plugin portal. Thus, the new convenient dependency mechanism can be used:

plugins {
    id 'org.kiirun.joda-beans' version '1.1.0'
}

The old way still works as well:

buildscript {
  ...
  
  dependencies {
      ...
      classpath 'org.kiirun:joda-beans-gradle-plugin:1.1.0'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.kiirun.joda-beans'

Dependency for versions up to 1.0.4

To use the plugin, declare a buildscript dependency to the plugin:

buildscript {
  ...
  
  dependencies {
      ...
      classpath 'org.kiirun:joda-beans-gradle-plugin:1.0.4'
  }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.joda:joda-beans:1.8'
    ...
}

Then you can simply use the plugin with:

apply plugin: 'joda-beans'

Tasks

The plugin provides two tasks - jodaValidate and jodaGenerate.

JodaValidate

The jodaValidate task is used to check that no Joda-Beans need regeneration. It can be used from the command line as gradle jodaValidate.

This task has the following optional configuration items:

• sourceDir - where to look for bean classes. The default is autodetected frmo the sourceSet definition.
• indent - as per the command line, the amount of indentation used, either the word "tab", or a number, such as "2" or "4". Default is "4".
• prefix - as per the command line, the prefix used by fields. Default is "".
• verbose - as per the command line, a number from "0" (quiet) to "3" (verbose).
• recursive - whether the source directory should be parsed recursively. Default is true.
• strict - whether the validate task should fail if beans need regenerating. Default is false.
• config - the configuration file to use for bean generation. Can be guava or jdk6, default is guava
• generated - whether a @Generated annotation should be added to generated code, default is false (requires Joda-Beans 2.7.1+)

JodaGenerate

The jodaGenerate task is used to generate or regenerate any Joda-Beans in the project source directory. It can be used from the command line as gradle jodaGenerate.

This task has the same configuration as the jodaValidate task.

Configuration

If your project is in default maven layout and you're fine with the default configuration of this plugin, no configuration is needed at all.

If you want to customize the settings, your properties might look like this:

jodabeans {
    sourceDir = file('src/main/java') // this default is autodetected from your sourceSet definition
    indent = 4                        // this is the default
    verbose = 2
    prefix = "_"
    recursive = true                  // this is the default
    strict = false                    // this is the default
    config = 'guava'                  // this is the default, can also be 'jdk6'
    generated = false                 // this is the default
}

The strict mode fails the validation step if files have been changed and a new generate step is needed.
