Dependencies Gen

Dependencies Gen is a gradle plugin that takes all the dependencies of a project and then exports needed information to a dependencies.json file in META-INF of the project.

Includes a way to ignore certain dependencies based on the group and name.

Include as a normal dependency to easily download the dependencies and load them in a project!

Build Gradle Usage for Plugin

import me.clutchy.dependenciesgen.gradle.DependenciesGenPlugin.DependenciesGen

plugins {
    id("me.clutchy.dependenciesgen") version "1.0.4"
}

tasks.getByName("classes").dependsOn(tasks.getByName("gen-dependencies")) // Optional but good to include.

configure<DependenciesGen> {
    ignored = listOf("me.clutchy:DependenciesGen") // Optional - Probably want to include if you use the dependency part.
}

Build Gradle Usage for Dependency

plugins {
    id("me.clutchy.dependenciesgen") version "1.0.4" // Optional but good if you want to shadow the jar.
}

dependencies {
    api("me.clutchy:DependenciesGen:1.0.4")
}

// All below is optional but good if you want to shadow the jar.
tasks.getByName("build").dependsOn(tasks.getByName("shadowJar"))

configure<DependenciesGen> {
    ignored = listOf("me.clutchy:DependenciesGen")
}

tasks.withType<ShadowJar> {
    exclude("/me/clutchy/dependenciesgen/gradle/")
    dependencies {
        include(dependency("me.clutchy:DependenciesGen:1.0.4"))
    }
}

CLI Usage

./gradlew gen-dependencies - Exports all the dependencies to a dependencies.json file in the output resources/META-INF folder for the project.

Java Dependency Usage

import me.clutchy.dependenciesgen.downloader.DependencyDownloader;

import java.io.File;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class Example {

    private static final DependencyDownloader downloader = new DependencyDownloader(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(), Logger.getLogger("Example"));

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        downloader.downloadDependencies(Example.class.getResourceAsStream("META-INF" + File.separator + "dependencies.json"));
    }
}
