I have a Gradle project I'm using the maven-publisher plugin to install my android library to maven local and a maven repo.
That works, but the generated pom.xml does not include any dependency information. Is there a workaround to include that information, or am I forced to go back to the maven plugin and do all the manual configuration that requires?
Researching I realized that I'm not telling the publication where the dependencies are, I'm only specifying the output/artifact, so I need a way to link this MavenPublication
to the dependencies, but I have not yet found how to do that in the documentation.

Generated pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<groupId>org.example.android</groupId>
<artifactId>my-android-sdk</artifactId>
<version>gradle-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>aar</packaging>
</project>
I was able to work around this by having the script add the dependencies to the pom directly using pom.withXml
.
//The publication doesn't know about our dependencies, so we have to manually add them to the pom
pom.withXml {
def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
//Iterate over the compile dependencies (we don't want the test ones), adding a <dependency> node for each
configurations.compile.allDependencies.each {
def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', it.group)
dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', it.name)
dependencyNode.appendNode('version', it.version)
}
}
This works for my project, it may have unforeseen consequences in others.
I'm upgraded C.Ross solution. This example will generate pom.xml with dependecies from compile configuration and also with special build type dependecies, for example if you use different dependencies for release or debug version (debugCompile and releaseCompile). And also it adding exlusions
publishing {
publications {
// Create different publications for every build types (debug and release)
android.buildTypes.all { variant ->
// Dynamically creating publications name
"${variant.name}Aar"(MavenPublication) {
def manifest = new XmlSlurper().parse(project.android.sourceSets.main.manifest.srcFile);
def libVersion = manifest['@android:versionName'].text()
def artifactName = project.getName()
// Artifact properties
groupId GROUP_ID
version = libVersion
artifactId variant.name == 'debug' ? artifactName + '-dev' : artifactName
// Tell maven to prepare the generated "*.aar" file for publishing
artifact("$buildDir/outputs/aar/${project.getName()}-${variant.name}.aar")
pom.withXml {
//Creating additional node for dependencies
def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
//Defining configuration names from which dependencies will be taken (debugCompile or releaseCompile and compile)
def configurationNames = ["${variant.name}Compile", 'compile']
configurationNames.each { configurationName ->
configurations[configurationName].allDependencies.each {
if (it.group != null && it.name != null) {
def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', it.group)
dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', it.name)
dependencyNode.appendNode('version', it.version)
//If there are any exclusions in dependency
if (it.excludeRules.size() > 0) {
def exclusionsNode = dependencyNode.appendNode('exclusions')
it.excludeRules.each { rule ->
def exclusionNode = exclusionsNode.appendNode('exclusion')
exclusionNode.appendNode('groupId', rule.group)
exclusionNode.appendNode('artifactId', rule.module)
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I guess it has something to do with the from components.java
directive, as seen in the guide. I had a similar setup and it made the difference to add the line into the publication block:
publications {
mavenJar(MavenPublication) {
artifactId 'rest-security'
artifact jar
from components.java
}
}
