Gradle Plugins

These are a collection of gradle plugins used for the projects I maintain, designed to reduce boilerplate and apply a few more options on top of what indra already applies.

Example

An example Kotlin DSL format:

Opinionated Defaults

This builds on top of the indra plugin, doing the following:

• Configures Javadoc to link source
• Adds an option to automatically set up automatic module names for artifacts
• Disables unclaimed annotations warnings from annotation processing
• If a checkstyle configuration is present at $rootProject/.checkstyle/checkstyle.xml, configures the checkstyle plugin to use it
• Applies ktlint plugin to lint Gradle kotlin build files

Localization

Using a single template, generate source files to more reliably access strings contained in resources bundles in the src/<set>/messages root. Currently supports automatically configuring compile tasks for Java and Kotlin. A messages class template in GString format must be provided. This template will get the following parameters:

This plugin adds a localization extension to the project with the following properties:

Templating

This plugin is no longer published as of version 6.1.0. It has been replaced by the blossom plugin instead, which provides many more powerful and flexible features.

Tasks are named generate[SourceSet]Templates, and extend Copy for easy customization. Template properties may be provided using the GenerateTemplateTask.properties() method. If no properties are provided, the template context will contain one property, project set to the project object.

Configurate Transformations

Use a Configurate 4 loader to transform any resources in a copy task.

The loader can both convert file formats, and load and modify configurations while keeping the same format. Use the ContentFilterable.convertFormat and ContentFilterable.transform extension functions to add filtering steps to any selection of copied files.

Another mode is validation mode -- using the ContentFilterable.validate extension method, any matching files will be validated for any syntax errors.

The plugin ships with handling for all of Configurate's built-in formats, but any others can be added by creating new instances of the ConfigProcessor class.

Stellardrift Repository

(since v6.0.0) Adds extensions to the Settings and Project RepositoryHandlers to easily declare Stellardrift repositories on projects.

These are:

repositories {
  stellardrift.releases() // published and proxied releases
  stellardrift.ownReleases() // published releases
  stellardrift.snapshots() // published and proxied snapshots
}

Polyglot Version Catalog

Add support for alternate languages to Gradle's new version catalog feature in 7.0.

This plugin supports all Configurate languages: YAML, JSON, HOCON, and XML.

Apply it in the settings.gradle[.kts], and create a gradle/libs.versions.{yaml,yml,conf,xml,json} in the project.

settings.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("ca.stellardrift.polyglot-version-catalogs") version "6.0.0"
}

Minecraft Dependencies (not actually a plugin)

These are just a series of Kotlin extension functions that allow easily declaring common dependencies in the Minecraft ecosystem
