DependencyExporter

DependencyExporter is a Gradle plugin that enables automatic creation of JSON files containing data about your project dependencies, such as download URL, size and SHA-256 digest. This is useful for applications that want to download dependencies at runtime.

Configuration

In the dependencyExport section you can select a configuration to export and the file that will be written and automatically shaded in your jar. You can do this multiple times. You can also add constraints so that some dependency classifier are automatically recognised, and data about system and architecture are addded.

Example

Configuration

plugins {
    id 'net.smoofyuniverse.dependency-exporter' version '1.0.7'
}

dependencyExport {
    loggerImpl {
        path = "dep/logger.json"
        config = configurations.loggerImpl
        skipWhenEmpty = true
    }

    javafx {
        path = "dep/javafx.json"
        config = configurations.javaFXRuntime
        
        // shortcut: presetOpenJFX()
        constraint("win", "windows", "x64")
        constraint("mac", "macos", "x64")
        constraint("mac-aarch64", "macos", "arm64")
        constraint("linux", "linux", "x64")
        constraint("linux-aarch64", "linux", "arm64")
    }
}
