How to publish your Gradle project to the Central Repository
Sonatype makes it easy to add your projects to the Central Repository with a free, public hosting service called OSSRH, that we recently wrote about here. Many developers have found this a very useful service and easy to use with Apache Maven. However, if you’ve started using Gradle, you may have wondered if you could continue using the service. The answer is absolutely YES.
We were talking about creating a guide for this, but someone in the community beat us to it. Yennick Trevels published an excellent guide in his blog that you can find here. We highly recommend checking out his post if you want to use Gradle to deploy artifacts to the Central Repository.
Our Focus on Advancing Hudson and Making Great Software
Sonatype’s perspective regarding the Hudson Project is pretty simple: we have been and will continue to be committed to advancing Hudson and making better software available to the community of Hudson users.
Very recently, Sonatype completed significant development in the evolution of Hudson’s core architecture. The benefits of these changes include better leveraging of industry standards, increased performance and stability, and tight integration with Maven 3 that provides greater visibility into running builds. We are continuing to add engineers to our Hudson team and are working hard with the Hudson community to move much of the work we’ve done here to Java.net.
Our work on Hudson is consistent with Sonatype’s long history of investment and community support. Our work with Maven at the Apache Software Foundation, with m2eclipse at the Eclipse Foundation, and with Nexus (our open source repository manager) all underscore our commitment to innovation for open source and commercial users alike.
Are we a commercial enterprise? Absolutely. However, our track record of open source innovation and community contribution speaks for itself. At Sonatype, we’ve always focused on the code, and that’s where we’re focused today with Hudson.
Next Generation Maven Development Stack @ JFokus
For my talk today at JFokus today I’ve taken the liberty of starting some notes for folks interested in attending. There’s a lot to cover and so I thought I would try the approach of providing some material up front so the session can be more of a dialog. I’m going to attempt to cover everything in the picture below and save the demos folks might want to see for the Sonatype booth. Happy to chat with folks and do any demos before and after the presentation. Just stop by!
Maven Stack Infrastructure
I’m going to talk about some of the under pinnings of the technologies we’re using as part of our Maven work. Why we selected the technologes and some of the current work that’s happening. (more…)
Meet the Nexus Remote Repository Browsing Plugin
Having used Nexus since it was a beta release and having also written a Plexus component-style Nexus plugin (the nexus-ldap realm), I was curious about the new Nexus Plugin API introduced in Nexus 1.4.0. To try it out, I asked two of our developers here at Devoteam Sweden to develop the Nexus Remote Repository Browsing Plugin – a Nexus plugin that makes it possible to directly browse the remote Maven repository of a proxy repository within the Nexus UI. The plugin has been contributed to Nexus OSS and will be released as a part of the upcoming 1.5.0 release. In this blog post, I will talk a little bit about the plugin and its use case. (more…)
