Gradle Conventions

Conventional Gradle plugins that I use in my projects. The ones named with bundle are intended to each fulfill a general use case and the others are smaller features that make up those use cases.

See documentation in the code and also running examples.

Requirements

Gradle wrapper can be downloaded with:

GRADLE_VERSION=9.1.0

cat > gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties << EOL
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip
networkTimeout=10000
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
EOL

./gradlew wrapper \
  --gradle-version="${GRADLE_VERSION}" \
  --distribution-type=bin

In many cases you can just run the gradlew wrapper task. But there are cases where this does not work. On such case is if you are using Java version X and the current wrapper only support version Y, the current wrapper cannot run. Se example error below:

$ java -version

openjdk version "21.0.2" 2024-01-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.2+13-Ubuntu-122.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.2+13-Ubuntu-122.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

$ ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=8.6 --distribution-type=bin
