Publish the Gradle plugin to the Gradle Plugin Portal

[fladulima]

I am trying to use the gradle plugin using plugins DSL, but the version 0.29 can't be found in gradle plugin repository.

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.6.2'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java-library'
    id 'io.spring.javaformat' version '0.0.29'
}

Thanks

Publishing the Gradle plugin to the Portal was removed as part of 9a485f8. Unfortunately, following Bintray's sunset there's no automated way in which a Maven-based build can publish a plugin to the Portal. Building this project with Gradle isn't easy due to its reliance on Tycho.

The README describes how to obtain the plugin from Maven Central. That's the recommended approach at this time.

thanks for the info.

I just found out that I can also provide a resolutionStrategy in settings.gradle.

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'io.spring.javaformat'
}

settings.gradle

pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.name == 'javaformat') {
                useModule('io.spring.javaformat:spring-javaformat-gradle-plugin:0.0.29')
            }
        }
    }
}

I'd like to keep this open in case we can publish directly without needing Bintray.

@philwebb Seems like this was fixed in #321. It works for me.

Thanks @SayakMukhopadhyay, I think #321 improved things but we've still got an old version at https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/io.spring.javaformat so there's probably some value in leaving this open.

When we fix this we should also look at updating the docs (see #394).
