What if...

...Gradle Module Metadata would have existed when your favorite JVM library was published .

A demonstration of how Gradle Module Metadata could look like for a number of famous open-source JVM libraries.

How to use?

• Clone this repository
• Run publish.sh to fill the repository folder with versions of libraries with Gradle Module Metadata added. The artifacts (jars) are the original artifacts taken from Maven Central. You can inspect the libraries folder that contains the Gradle builds re-defining dependencies and other properties of the libraries to generate the metadata.
• Go into the usecases folder and inspect the Gradle builds in there to see how different issues are now solved.
• To see the resulting classpath (or conflict) run ./gradlew :<use-case-folder-name>:checkClasspath or ./gradlew :<use-case-folder-name>:dependencise inside the usecases folder. You can also run with the --scan option to inspect the dependencies in a build scan.
