Latest batch compiler not available in central maven repository?

[Infiniverse]

Hi,

It appears that the groovy-eclipse-batch binaries have not been uploaded to mvnrepository for quite a while:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-eclipse-batch

Is there a reason why that would be the case? I want to use the compiler in IntelliJ IDEA, but the published versions are behind the version of groovy we are using.

Thanks.

It looks like 2.4.3-01 from March 2015 is the latest, but the project looks very much alive so I'm wondering why Maven central's not been updated.

Artifacts have been uploaded to bintray. Jcenter and Maven Central are coming soon. Keep an eye on the wiki for updates.

Directions for pulling from bintray are near the bottom of: #246

[Infiniverse]

I'm not sure that the artefacts are uploaded to bintray:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
      <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-batch</artifactId>
      <version>2.4.12-02</version>
    </dependency>

This only finds a pom, not a jar.

You can have a look for yourself: https://dl.bintray.com/groovy/maven/org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-eclipse-batch/2.4.12-02/

Magic! Many thanks.

[Infiniverse]

Great. I've managed to get it to work now. Thanks for you help.

@eric-milles I know this issue was closed exactly a year ago, but is there a plan to push the latest releases of groovy-eclipse-compiler and groovy-eclipse-batch to Maven Central? My institution's internal Nexus server would not proxy bintray, and I'm stuck with old releases of these artifacts from Maven Central. Thank you for your help.

Could you please realize that this issue is somehow urgent? I can't understand the possible reasons for not deploying on MavenCentral

[eric-milles]

@rw00 You need to take this up with the core Groovy team. They own the Groovy Bintray repository and can enable publication to Jcenter and Maven Central. I work on the code, but not the build or deploy processes.

@eric-milles I believe you can promote from your bintray account just by clicking on the Maven Central link. Currently when I try that it rejects the sync because of a missing source jar which I believe is now a requirement from Maven central: "Package should include sources as part of the package.". Is that possible to include in the next release?
P.S. I can't remember whether it asks for further credentials or whether they are saved as part of the Groovy organisation but shout if you try and that blocks you.
P.P.S we can try to add something in the release scripts for the eclipse artifacts but we don't currently have anything in place for them. Do you have a release script/process? I can show you the relevant parts of the core Groovy release process if needed. We automate the sync step.

[eric-milles]

@paulk-asert Thanks for the extra info. I'll need to update the maven build to produce a source artifact. It wasn't produced because the compiler is a mashup of a bunch of eclipse bundles.

@eric-milles - Could you also publish the latest groovy-eclipse-compiler jar to Maven Central along with groovy-eclipse-batch? Thanks.

[eric-milles]

Latest 2.4 and 2.5 batch compiler should be available through Jcenter and Maven Central now: https://search.maven.org/search?q=a:groovy-eclipse-batch

[eric-milles]

@jdoshi1 I'm working out some final issues for synching groovy-eclipse-compiler between Bintray and Jcenter and Maven Central. I'll let you know when it's available.
