Spec configuration

In addition to its artifacts, the DeploySpec interface offers a simple DSL to configure other common parameters of a publication. Under the hood, these will be applied to the publication's POM file.

Project info

Use the projectInfo property or configuration block:

kotlinCopy
// In the deployer{} block, or within a spec declaration...
projectInfo {
   // Project name. Defaults to rootProject.name
   name.set("MavenDeployer")
   // Project description. Defaults to rootProject.name
   description.set("Handy tool to publish maven packages in different repositories.")
   // Project url
   url.set("https://github.com/deepmedia/MavenDeployer")
   // Package group id. Defaults to project's group
   groupId.set("io.deepmedia.tools")
   // Package artifact. Defaults to project's archivesName or project.name
   artifactId.set("deployer")
   // Project SCM information. Defaults to project.url
   scm {
       // or: fromGithub("deepmedia", "MavenDeployer")
       // or: fromBitbucket("deepmedia", "MavenDeployer")
       // or: set url, connection and developerConnection directly
   }
   // Licenses. Apache 2.0 and MIT are built-in
   license(apache2)
   license(MIT)
   license("MyLicense", "mylicense.com")
   // Developers
   developer("natario1", "mattia@deepmedia.io")
}

Release details

Use the release property or configuration block:

kotlinCopy
// In the deployer{} block, or within a spec declaration...
release {
   // Release version. Defaults to project.version, or AGP configured version for Android projects
   release.version.set("1.0.0")
   // Release VCS tag. Defaults to "v${release.version}"
   release.tag.set("v0.1.4")
   // Release description. Defaults to "${project.name} {release.tag}"
   release.description.set("Brand new release")
}

Signing configuration

Use the signing property or configuration block:

kotlinCopy
// In the deployer{} block, or within a spec declaration...
signing {
   key.set(secret("SIGNING_KEY"))
   password.set(secret("SIGNING_PASSWORD"))
}

The signing key and password are considered secrets. This means that you will not pass the actual value to the deployer, but rather a lookup string. This lookup string can be:

• The name of some environment variables that contains the resolved secret
• The name of a Gradle property containing the resolved secret, resolved with project.findProperty(lookup)
• The name of a property in the local.properties file, if present

The resolved key and password are then passed to the signing plugin using useInMemoryPgpKeys, to sign the publication artifacts.
