Say you have a PL file you want to upload to Nexus with Gradle. How would such a script look like.
group 'be.mips' version = '1.4.0-SNAPSHOT'
In settings.gradle --> rootProject.name = 'stomp'
And let's say that the pl file is in a subdirectory dist (./dist/stomp.pl).
Now I want to publish this stomp.pl file to a nexus snapshot repository.
As long as you go with Java, then Gradle (just like Maven) works like a charm. But there's little documentation found what to do if you have a DLL, or a ZIP, or a PL (Progress Library).
I publish such artifacts for a long time. For example, ZIP archives with SQL files. Let me give you an example from real project:
build.gradle:
apply plugin: "base"
apply plugin: "maven"
apply plugin: "maven-publish"
repositories {
maven { url defaultRepository }
}
task assembleArtifact(type: Zip, group: 'DB') {
archiveName 'db.zip'
destinationDir file("$buildDir/libs/")
from "src/main/sql"
description "Assemble archive $archiveName into ${relativePath(destinationDir)}"
}
publishing {
publications {
mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
artifact source: assembleArtifact, extension: 'zip'
}
}
repositories {
maven {
credentials {
username nexusUsername
password nexusPassword
}
url nexusRepo
}
}
}
assemble.dependsOn assembleArtifact
build.dependsOn assemble
publish.dependsOn build
gradle.properties:
# Maven repository for publishing artifacts

nexusUsername=admin_user
nexusPassword=admin_password
