JReleaser Gradle Plugin

Executes a JReleaser workflow as a Gradle plugin.

Requires Gradle 6.x.

Install

build.gradle
plugins {
    id 'org.jreleaser' version '1.8.0'
}

Configuration

JReleaser may be configured using the Gradle DSL shown at Reference. Alternatively, an external configuration file may be used if the configFile field property is set in the jreleaser extension.

The following properties may also be set on the jreleaser configuration instance:

Setting Type Environment Variable Default

basedir

boolean

JRELEASER_BASEDIR

<current-execution-directory>

dryrun

boolean

JRELEASER_DRY_RUN

false

strict

boolean

JRELEASER_STRICT

false

gitRootSearch

boolean

JRELEASER_GIT_ROOT_SEARCH

false

dependsOnAssemble

boolean

true

selectCurrentPlatform

boolean

JRELEASER_SELECT_CURRENT_PLATFORM

false

selectPlatform

String

JRELEASER_SELECT_PLATFORMS

<empty-string>

rejectPlatform

String

JRELEASER_REJECT_PLATFORMS

<empty-string>

configFile

RegularFile

String

JRELEASER_DEFAULT_GIT_REMOTE

origin

if dependsOnAssemble is set to true (default) then many JReleaser tasks will depend on the execution of the assembleDist task. Set this property to false to skip this dependency.

JRELEASER_SELECT_PLATFORMs and JRELEASER_REJECT_PLATFORMs may define a command separated list of values such as osx-x86_64,linux-x86_64.

These additional environment variables are supported as well:

Environment Variable Description

NO_COLOR

disable colors in output

JRELEASER_NO_COLOR

disable colors in output

Filtering Artifacts

Many commands let you filter (include or exclude) artifacts using a combination of task flags or environment variables. This filter capability allows you to test out a release configuration on a node where not all artifacts may be available. For example, when building on linux-x86_64 while also having osx-x86_64 and windows-x86_64.

Include only for the current platform

Use the JRELEASER_SELECT_CURRENT_PLATFORM environment variable or the --select-current-platform task flag.

$ JRELEASER_SELECT_CURRENT_PLATFORM gradle jreleaserChecksum
$ gradle jreleaserChecksum --select-current-platform
Include a specific platform

Use the JRELEASER_SELECT_PLATFORMS environment variable or the --select-platform task flag, i.e,

$ JRELEASER_SELECT_PLATFORMS=osx-x86_64 gradle jreleaserChecksum
$ gradle jreleaserChecksum --select-platform=osx-x86_64

Every artifact whose platform property does not match the given platform will end up filtered out.

Exclude a specific platform

Use the JRELEASER_REJECT_PLATFORMS environment variable or the --reject-platform task flag, i.e,

$ JRELEASER_REJECT_PLATFORMS=windows-x86_64 gradle jreleaserChecksum
$ gradle jreleaserChecksumm --reject-platform=windows-x86_64

Every artifact whose platform property matches the given platform will end up filtered out.

Defaults

The following values will be taken directly from the Gradle project and added to JReleaser’s configuration when the matching JReleaser element has not been explicitly configured:

Build file JReleaser

project.name

project.name

project.version

project.version

project.description

project.description

project.group

project.java.groupId

project.name

project.java.artifactId

The value of project.java.multiProject will be set to true if the root project has children.

The value of project.java.version will be determined following these expressions in order:

  • ${project.targetCompatibility}

  • ${project.compilerRelease}

  • org.gradle.api.JavaVersion.current()

The following properties will be automatically mapped when the org.kordamp.gradle.project plugin is applied:

Kordamp JReleaser

config.info.description

project.description

config.info.links.website

project.links.homepage

config.info.authors

project.authors

config.info.tags

project.tags

config.info.licenses

config.info.inceptionYear

Environment Variables

The following settings may also be specified via environment variables

Default

JRELEASER_DEFAULT_GIT_REMOTE

origin

DSL Descriptors

The plugin ships with GDSL (IntelliJ) and DSLD (Eclipse) DSL descriptors that should provide code completion support for the jreleaser extension when using the Groovy DSL in Gradle scripts. These files should be picked up automatically but if that were not to be the case then you may download the files and register them with your IDE:
