Github Packages

[esafirm]

Is there any plan on make the plugin available outside Github Pacakges?

@esafirm The project is a way to write Kotlin to generate groovy Jenkinsfile.
I am not sure how you would make that a plugin.

Would it be possible to upload the jar to maven central?

+1 to uploading the JAR to maven central

Hi all, I'm the original writer of this code, but no longer work for Code42.

@Grambo007 is right that this isn't really a plugin, but that doesn't preclude publishing to maven central. Overall that would be a win for users and help make this more broadly available. That's an internal decision for Code42 to make.

That being said, in the meantime it should be sufficient to use the github packages repo https://github.com/code42/pipelinekt/blob/master/docs/quickstart.md

Alternatively, I don't believe the MIT license would preclude someone outside of the organization from repackaging this and publishing to maven central. It would probably be a nice thing to change package names prior to that and get the blessing of the current maintainers for this project. @Grambo007 @erasmussen39 @reder9

Can't upvote this enough, it's a non-starter on Github Packages

[Grambo007]

I talked with @erasmussen39 and when I get some time I will update to publish to maven central.

[Suggested quick workaround]

It might be effortless to make this project JitPack-compatible.
(for now it's building empty jar file)

@Grambo007, many thanks for your—and the other contributors'—efforts on pipelinekt.

I noticed that there was a release relatively recently; is that release one you can upload to Maven Central?

Here's Gradle's guide on publishing libraries, if it's helpful.

@dector it appears that with recent changes since v0.18.2 that the published artifact is now JitPack compatible as seen here: https://jitpack.io/com/github/code42/pipelinekt/v0.21.1/build.log
I've added a JitPack badge also to the readme for this for going forward :)

[reder9]

Hi @TurekBot I'll try and see what I can do to publish this to maven central (I'e never done that before so please bear with me, but I'll try my best when I have some time)

If anyone with more experience with this wants to do that they can. I'm just offering because I dont think many of the previous contributors to this project are active or watching this as closely anymore.

I tried installing from jitpack and it seemed like the jar I got was empty. I was going to move on and try something else but I see that development has suddenly picked back up so I figured I'd try checking in if the jitpack builds were a simple fix
