Description

A simplification of the gradle publish plugin. This is a thin wrapper around the official plugin-publish. For general information about publishing plugins to the gradle plugin repository, check out the official instructions, just replace step 4 with the usage instructions below.

Differences between this and the official plugin:

• This plugin allows you to provide your gradle publish credentials via any mechanism you desire.
• This plugin doesn't require you to have a tripply nested section for plugin ID and Display Name.
• This plugin doesn't require you provide two URLs that are often the same (VCS and Website).
• The official plugin allows you to publish multiple plugins from a single build script.
• The officila plugin allows you to have a separate website and VCS link.

Usage

1. Apply the plugin per the instructions here

2. Add a block like the following to your build.gradle:

   simpleGradlePluginPublishConfiguration {
   	gradlePublishKey = System.getenv('GRADLE_PUBLISH_KEY')
   	gradlePublishSecret = System.getenv('GRADLE_PUBLISH_SECRET')
   	vcsUrl = 'https://github.com/Me/MyRepo'
   	id = 'namespace.name'
   	displayName = 'An unconstrained string.'
   	description = 'A long unconstrained string.'
   	tags = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
   }

3. Execute the publishPlugins task.
