Custom model for tooling API

This project demonstrates the use of a custom model for querying project details with the tooling API.

Project layout

This project consists of three components:

1. A multi-project build that provides the custom model via a plugin. The project defines two subprojects: model and plugin. model represents the custom model representation. plugin implements a Gradle plugin that registers the custom model with the tooling API model registry and populates it.
2. The subdirectory invocation provides a build script that uses the tooling API to query information from a project.
3. A sample build.gradle file in the subdirectory invocation/sample that is used to query the information.

Building and publishing the plugin

From the root project you can build and publish the plugin by running the command ./gradlew build publish. The command will build all subprojects, assemble their artifacts and publish them to a Maven-based repository in the directory repo.

Invoking the tooling API

As the next step we can execute the build that uses the custom model registered by the plugin with the tooling API. Navigate to the subdirectory invocation and execute the command ../gradlew run. Executing the command will run a build for the build.gradle file in the directory named sample on the root level of the repository. If successfully executed, you'll see JAVA PLUGIN IS FOUND print out in console.
