Nexus workflow aka. publish to maven #11

Closed victorhaggqvist closed 9 years ago

victorhaggqvist commented 9 years ago

I noticed issue https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperLB/MaterialPreferenceLibrary/issues/4 about publishing the library to maven. I would really appreciate if you do this. JitPack is not a good long term solution.

I have added some boilerplate configuration here for publishing to sonatype oss using the nexus-workflow plugin.

What you need to do on your part is a one time setup with sonatype. After that publishing is just two clicks inside Android Studio.

You go to http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html and look under the "Initial setup"-section. Follow the like so create a JIRA account and then open a Project Ticket.

After that the boilerplate config will expect a file at ~/gradle/gradle.properties containing credentials for sonatype. Please refer to my blog post about this config, https://victorhaggqvist.com/blog/2015/how-to-publish-an-android-library-to-maven.html. I wrote that post as a future reference when I did my setup.

What's wrong with JitPack ? It's much easier than the other solutions as I've seen. Also it's free

It relies on the Github repo being available. You may read a couple other reasons here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9028271.

FYI, https://oss.sonatype.org/ is very much free too. Supposedly Bintray's solution may me easier, though I have experience with that https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter.

Well since the project is on Github, I don't see what's wrong with that. What are the steps for publishing the repo on the other websites? on JitPack, all I need to do is to put the URL of the github repo. It can't be any easier than that...

"What are the steps for publishing the repo on the other websites?" Well, that was the first thing I said in https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperLB/MaterialPreferenceLibrary/pull/11#issue-96924273.

But I guess it won't happen then, feel free to close this PR if that's the case.

hmmm... actually I did have to add something for JitPack . I think those:

  1. Add classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3' to root build.gradle under buildscript { dependencies {

    It should look like this: https://github.com/jitpack/android-example/blob/master/build.gradle

  2. Add apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' to the library/build.gradle

    2.1. Like this: https://github.com/jitpack/android-example/blob/master/library/build.gradle#L2

    2.2. Apply the plugin to only those modules that you want to serve using JitPack. Normally the library
