Support for publishing snapshots

[sbrunk]

I'm using bleep for real this time in a new project with with Rust and JNI stuff. I've stolen derived most of the build from tui-scala. Thanks :)

Before doing a real release, I'd like to publish a few snapshots first, but I realized SNAPSHOT support is still missing in the ci-release-plugin for for bleep:

        if (isSnapshotVersion(dynVer.version)) {
          logger.info(s"No tag push, publishing SNAPSHOT")
          require(dynVer.dynverSonatypeSnapshots, "dynVer.config.dynverSonatypeSnapshots must be true")
          sys.error("publish snapshots not implemented yet")
//          publishSnapshots()
        } else {

Is there any technical reason for this, or is it just because you didn't need snapshot support yet?

Imagine my surprise when that was a completely different codepath! As far as I remember normal publishing is now done with a batch API, while that is not supported for snapshots. There you have to go through "how it was done before", and I haven't really dug into that yet.

I'm missing it dearly too actually, so I really want to get it in. I think it's a medium size job, to follow the sbt codebase and dig out the parts we need.

Also very cool! I should probably mention that the reason why I went with JNI for that project was to support graalvm native-image. If that's not a concern to you maybe there are faster ways of getting there (JNA?)

Ah I see. I almost suspected there was more behind it. :)
I'm not sure If I'm able to look into that now so I guess I have to bite the bullet for now and do a non-snapshot release.

Yeah JNA would probably have been easier. I even looked into the Foreign Function & Memory API from project Panama which worked quite well but then I realized it will still be in preview even in Java 21.

I think I kind of did regret using raw JNI in-between: https://social.brunk.io/@soeren/110186480324785153 😄
But in the end it was a good excuse to learn a bit of Rust.

This might be worth considering.
