Build with gradlew and make it available in ./m2 [duplicate]

I have 2 different project build on mvn. I am trying to replace to Gradle.
Project 1 is an SDK, and project 2 is using that sdk (example).
In the time of maven it creates artifact using mvn install which adds the whole project into local repository.
I like to work in gradle like that. I like project 1 build.gradle need to post it as a gradle local repository and then example project need to use it.
In maven we do mvn install which adds a project artifact into .m2 folder but how to do in gradle so what i can add a project artefact's into the local repository.
Any way that I can do so?

sdk/build.gradle:
apply plugin: "maven"
group = "foo"
version = "1.0"
example/build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenLocal()
}
dependencies {
compile "foo:sdk:1.0"
}
$sdk> gradle install
$example> gradle build

You may be looking for:
gradle publishToMavenLocal
build.gradle:
plugins {
// other plugins
id 'maven-publish'
}
publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
See: Maven Publish Plugin

Check out Gradle's documentation on multi-project builds.
Here's an example, with some extra dependencies. Just call gradle install in the root folder, and all will be built and put to your local repo.
Folder structure:
root
+--> build.gradle
+--> settings.gradle
+--> sdk
| +--> build.gradle
+--> example
+--> build.gradle
root/build.gradle:
allprojects {
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
group = 'myGroup'
version = '0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}
root/settings.gradle:
include 'sdk'
include 'example'
root/sdk/build.gradle:
dependencies {
// just an example external dep.
compile group:'commons-lang', name:'commons-lang', version:'2.3'
}
root/example/build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile project(':sdk')
compile group:'log4j', name:'log4j', version:'1.2.16'
}

You need to publish your own library to your local repository. You can do that in the following way:
Add maven-publish plugin:
plugins {
// your other plugins come here...
id 'maven-publish'
}
Add the publishing section to your build file:
publishing {
publications {
myCoolLibrary(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
Run gradle build publishToMavenLocal

Gradle's Maven Publish plugin not publishing POM or proper version to Maven Local

I am trying to get the Gradle Maven Publish Plugin to publish a snapshot version of my Java library to my local Maven repo such that:
The version of the jar is 1.0.0.SNAPSHOT-<timestamp>, where <timestamp> is the current system time in millis (similar to something like System.currentTimeInMillis()); and
I log to STDOUT/console the full name of the jar being published, including the version above; and
A properly-formatted pom.xml is published to Maven local alongside the jar, so that any other Gradle/Maven projects can "pull it down" locally and fetch its transitive dependencies properly
My best attempt so far:
plugins {
id 'java-library'
id 'maven-publish'
}
dependencies {
compile(
'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.0.12.Final'
,'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.8.10'
,'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.8.10'
,'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.8.0'
)
testCompile(
'junit:junit:4.12'
)
}
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
group 'com.me'
jar {
baseName = 'my-lib'
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
}
publishing {
publications {
mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
However, with this setup, when I run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal:
I do see the jar being deployed to ~/.m2/repository/com/me/my-lib/ but without a pom.xml and no 1.0.0.SNAPSHOT version appended to it
I don't even know how/where I would append the timestamp onto the version
I don't even know how/where I would do a println(...) to report the full name of the jar being published
Any ideas?

Regarding #3, To install your artifact to a local repository you do not need the maven-publish plugin, rather the maven plugin
See The Maven plugin documentation, specifically the Tasks section and the Installing to the local repository section with it, you can run gradle clean build install
It works for me with a build.gradle file as simple as this
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
Note, if you need to publish something other then the default generated jar then you need to change the archives configuration
Regarding #1 appending the timestamp, move the version line outside the jar clause and change it from
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
to
version = "1.0-SNAPSHOT-${System.currentTimeMillis()}"
This is using Groovy GString (AKA string interpolation - note the change from single quotes to double quotes) to append the current time in millis to the version
Last but not least, regarding #2 printing the jar full name append the following to the build.gradle file
install.doLast {
println jar.archiveName
}
Essentially we're appending to the install task (the one executed in the top of my answer) a println of the jar configuration's archiveName (see here if you want something else)
So all in all my build.gradle file looks like this:
group 'com.boazj'
version "1.0-SNAPSHOT-${System.currentTimeMillis()}"
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
install.doLast {
println jar.archiveName
}

Can't resolve dependency for jsoup

I'm creating a news downloading gradle project with the following directory structure.
news-feed (root)
|-bbc-plugin (sub-project)
I want to use the jsoup library for my sub-projects so I add the dependency to my root build.gradle file as follows.
import org.gradle.api.artifacts.*
apply plugin: 'base' // To add "clean" task to the root project.
apply plugin: 'application'
mainClassName = 'newsFeed.MainMenu'
subprojects {
apply from: rootProject.file('common.gradle')
apply plugin: 'java'
dependencies {
compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.10.3'
}
}
dependencies {
compile project(':bbc-plugin')
}
I can't build the project because of the error
* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':bbc-plugin:compileClasspath'.
> Can't resolve external dependency org.jsoup:jsoup:1.10.3 because no repositories are defined.
Required by:
project :bbc-plugin
Is there are way to specify the dependency in the root build file without having to specify in the build.gradle file of each sub-project?

You need to tell gradle from which repository it can download your dependency. To achieve this, you need to add a repositories section to your build script.
To use Maven Central, for instance, you need to add the following lines to your to root build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
See here and here in the Gradle user guide for a more detailed description.

How to setup a Java Gradle plugin project in IntelliJ?

I'm having issues setting up a Java Gradle Plugin project for IntelliJ.
Specifically, I can't get the Java to import the required gradle library.
import org.gradle.api.Plugin;
import org.gradle.api.Project;

I found the answer for Groovy and ported it over for Java.
Insure you have gradle downloaded, and the gradle bin directory added to your path.
Create a new directory for your project to exist in. Open up command prompt, and run the following command:
gradle init --type java-library
Then edit the generated build.gradle file and add the following the the dependencies:
compile gradleApi()
Also and the following:
apply plugin: 'idea'
This should result in a build.gradle that looks like:
// Apply the java plugin to add support for Java
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
// In this section you declare where to find the dependencies of your project
repositories {
// Use jcenter for resolving your dependencies.
// You can declare any Maven/Ivy/file repository here.
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile gradleApi()
// The production code uses Guava
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:20.0'
// Use JUnit test framework
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
Then back in command prompt, run:
gradlew idea
And open the generated project in IntelliJ

Why do xml configs of gradle dependencies go with "Gradle__" prefix? Intellij IDEA 13

Java Spring project with Gradle 1.9 and vertx. Local gradle distribution.
Some lines of build.gradle
apply plugin 'java'
apply plugin 'groovy'
apply plugin 'idea'
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
...
compile 'org.springframework:spring-context-support:3.2.5.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-aop:3.2.5.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-aspects:3.2.5.RELEASE'
...
}
I have an existing gradle project downloaded from git with xml configs in .idea/libraries folder named spring-aop_3_2_5_RELEASE.xml, for example, where we can find xml tag <library name="spring-aop-3.2.5.RELEASE">...</library>.
After I had imported this project new file Gradle__spring-aop_3_2_5_RELEASE.xml appeared with only difference in name attribute of the library tag: Gradle: spring-aop-3.2.5.RELEASE. So i have duplicate xml configs for dependencies. I wonder why my gradle added that prefix.

The prefix is hardcoded, IDEA 13 needs a reimport of your old Gradle projects that were created in IDEA 12. It's not obvious, but there will be a notification about it in the next update.
In the Gradle generated project you can exclude the library files from the version control, same for the .iml files that can be also ignored when using Maven. Other files can be still shared (like code style, run configurations, inspection profiles, etc). Check this document for details.
