SDKMAN! Vendor Plugin

This Gradle plugin is used by SDK Vendors to publish their own releases on SDKMAN!. Even more, they are able to announce their releases through the Broadcast API.

Vendors

A Vendor is an organisation/individual that owns a technology, and wishes to publish it's Versions on SDKMAN!

Setup

It requires some configuration in the build.gradle file of the project.

    plugins {
      id "io.sdkman.vendors" version "3.0.0"
    }

You will also need some configuration to interact with the remote API in order to publish and broadcast. Two types of configuration are supported. The first is for UNIVERSAL binaries:

    sdkman {
        candidate = "grails"
        version = "x.y.z"
        url = "https://host/grails-x.y.z.zip"
        hashtag = "grailsfw"
    }

The second type is for native platform-specific binaries:

    sdkman {
        candidate = "micronaut"
        version = "x.y.z"
        platforms = [
            "MAC_OSX":"https://host/micronaut-x.y.z-macosx.zip",
            "WINDOWS_64":"https://host/micronaut-x.y.z-win.zip", 
            "LINUX_64":"https://host/micronaut-x.y.z-linux64.zip", 
        ]
        hashtag = "micronaut"
    }

We currently support the following platforms:

• MAC_OSX
• WINDOWS_64
• LINUX_64
• LINUX_32

By default, the plugin communicates with the https://vendors.sdkman.io service.

Credentials

The credentials for Vendors consisting of a security key and token can be obtained by raising an Issue on Github.

You can explicitly set your key and token from a Gradle property or environment variable.

    sdkman {
        consumerKey = "SOME_KEY"
        consumerToken = "SOME_TOKEN"
    }

By default, the plugin looks for your credentials in the SDKMAN_KEY and SDKMAN_TOKEN environment variables.

Other Config

All configuration above such as credentials, candidate, version, url and hashtag may be populated dynamically in the build.

candidate and version are required. url is required if you do not set platforms.

Gradle Tasks

The plugin provides the following tasks for releasing, defaulting and announcing:

• sdkAnnounceVersion - Announce a Release on SDKMAN.
• sdkDefaultVersion - Make an existing Candidate Version the new Default on SDKMAN.
• sdkReleaseVersion - Release a new Candidate Version on SDKMAN.
• sdkMajorRelease - Convenience task performs a Major Release consisting of Release, Default and Announce combined.
• sdkMinorRelease - Convenience task performs a Minor Release consisting of Release and Announce combined.
