version 4 unavailable jar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi. I'm trying to build objectify version 4, from the sources, because there is 
not a version 4 .jar in the Downloads. I want to use version 4 because I'm just 
starting with objectify. 

For generating the .jar I'm doing 

git clone git://github.com/stickfigure/objectify.git

cd objectify

gradle build

BUt I'm getting the following error. I'm new to gradle, just installed latest 
version on linux, gradle-1.2 : 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/home/sebastian/test/objectify/build.gradle' line: 77

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'objectify'.
> No such property: nexusUsername for class: 
org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.ant.DefaultGroovyMavenDeployer

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug 
option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 4.016 secs

I was able to get the jar from maven repos : 
http://maven.objectify-appengine.googlecode.com/git/com/googlecode/objectify/obj
ectify/4.0a4/. But the build proccess with gradle should be fixed..

Thanks for the report!  I will get this fixed later today.

In the mean time just to get things going, you can create a 
~/.gradle/gradle.properties with the following:

nexusUsername=anyrandomstring
nexusPassword=anyrandomstring

Aja, I suspected a properties file should be filled. You should mention this on 
file https://github.com/stickfigure/objectify/blob/master/README.mkd

also, I think It can be nice if you add a small section at 
http://code.google.com/p/objectify-appengine/wiki/Setup indicating how to build 
the jar from latest sources. Something like: 

{{{

git clone git://github.com/stickfigure/objectify.git

cd objectify

cat >  ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
nexusUsername=anyrandomstring
nexusPassword=anyrandomstring
Ctrl-D

gradle build
}}}

Build now works out of the box.  Also updated Setup/ContributingToObjectify.

Sorry to be picky, but I don't think this is resolved.

I think new users will still make the same mistake I did: download 3.1 thinking 
it is the current version, and then not understanding why it doesn't jive with 
the documentation.

If download page will no longer have a download for the current version then I 
think it would help to have a note there to that effect, or a prominent note on 
the project's home page (or maybe the release page).

There will be a download for v4.  It's not quite ready yet.  It's coming.

The build problem described in this issue is, however, resolved.  While it 
might make sense to create a separate issue for "hurry up and get v4 released", 
please don't.

Very nice, thanks for the fix. Verified. You should close this issue.
