Maven Parent pom feature in gradle

[utkarshsystem (Sharad Goyal)]

I understand Gradle does not have a parent pom maven like feature but I am not able to find any sample or tutorial on this. I download Gradle binaries and did not find any sample project where the jar version is not hard coded.

I tried to follow the topic from the url

Inheriting from a parent not in the same project

Is there a similar concept to a Maven non-local parent project in Gradle? My dev team has several independent and unrelated projects in flight. In Maven, I can (and did) write a parent pom that’s inherited by all of the projects to set up common things like repository locations and some basic dependency management to keep things like junit and logging relatively consistent across all the projects. That pom has packaging=pom and is itself the only “artifact” of that build. Having all our projects…

but unable to create a simple project. Please help or provide a sample download.

You are looking for how to build Gradle plugins.

[utkarshsystem (Sharad Goyal)]

Yes but a sample example will be more beneficial and easy to implement. I also there are various third party plugins available but they does not include samples.

The info on building a plugin is lacking in key areas. For example, how do you translate this into Java?

plugins {
    id 'org.someproject.Plugin' version '1.0.12.RELEASE'
}

I can see how to convert this:

apply plugin: 'jacoco'

But there appears to be two different ways of resolving the plugins. I’ve looked at the JavaDocs and while they are helpful, they stop short of making it clear what to do. If I want to consolidate all my plugin dependencies, etc. into something that is easy to centrally manage, then I need to know how to convert certain groovy script sections into Java.
