Grails Extended Dependency Manager

Grails plugin that provides a simple API in the scripting/ build environment for resolving Jars from the current DependencyManager and adding it to the compile (and provided) classpath.

This allows the classpath to be dynamically modified by plugins.

Supports both Aether and Ivy

Examples

For a plugin provided script that builds its own classpath

scripts/Example.groovy

includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsInit")
includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsCompile")
includeTargets << new File("${extendedDependencyManagerPluginDir}/scripts/_ExtendedDependencies.groovy")

target(example: "Some Example Script") {
  depends(compile)

  addCompileDependency("org.springframework.data",
      "spring-data-gemfire",
      "1.3.2.RELEASE")

  println "COMPILE=${grailsSettings.compileDependencies}" //will contain spring data

}

A plugin script that alters the main classpath during compilation. scripts/_Events.groovy

includeTargets << new File("${extendedDependencyManagerPluginDir}/scripts/_ExtendedDependencies.groovy")

eventCompileStart = {
  addCompileDependency("org.springframework.data",
        "spring-data-gemfire",
        "1.3.2.RELEASE")
}

eventSetClasspath = { ClassLoader rootLoader ->
  def files = addCompileDependency("org.springframework.data",
        "spring-data-gemfire",
        "1.3.2.RELEASE")

  files.each {
    rootLoader.addURL(file.toURL())
  }
}

target(example: "Some Example Script") {
  depends(compile)

  addCompileDependency("org.springframework.data",
      "spring-data-gemfire",
      "1.3.2.RELEASE")

  println "COMPILE=${grailsSettings.compileDependencies}" //will contain spring data

}
