How to build this plugin offline?

[emilianbold]

Hello,

I successfully built the plugin but it downloaded a whole lot of JARs, including files from bits.netbeans.org/trunk.

With Maven we have the nbm-maven-plugin populate task which populates locally the JARs from an existing NetBeans build.

I wonder if something like that exists for Gradle too? I don't want the build to download all those stale JARs, I have a local NetBeans build and I want the compilation to use my JARs.

Is there some way to do this?

[giulianisanches]

I think that one way to do this could be to create a new property in gradle.properties (or adapt the existing one that points out to the netbeans executable) to represent the netbeans home (lets call it netbeans.home :) ).

Adapt the netbeansApi / netbeansModule functions that are defined into the build.gradle to check if this property exists and if so use something like files or fileTree to add the needed jars to the build process.

Another solution could be to use flatDirs inside the repositories.

As soon as possible, I will try to implement and test this.

I don't know if there is a simple way to do this as the nbm plugin does not support it. Also, I'm only mildly familiar with the nbm building process, so I'm not sure what exactly should be done to properly populate manifest.mf and info.xml (I don't know if there is anything else).

[giulianisanches]

Yep. It's not being a easy task (at last for me) to find out how to use my CoolBeans installation to build the gradle plugin, but i will try to find out how to do this.

[giulianisanches]

Just to let my efforts logged here, what i did so far (besides read a lot of documentation):

I wrote a small shell script just to find out where the dependencies where located in my file system.

Based on this list i added the following to the repositories section:

flatDir name: 'platformModules', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/platform/modules'
flatDir name: 'platformCore', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/platform/core'
flatDir name: 'platformLib', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/platform/lib'
flatDir name: 'harnessModules', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/harness/modules'
flatDir name: 'ideModules', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/ide/modules'
flatDir name: 'javaModules', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/java/modules'
flatDir name: 'javaAntNblib', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/java/ant/nblib'
flatDir name: 'nbModulesLocale', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/nb/modules/locale'
flatDir name: 'groovyModule', dirs: '/home/giuliani/apps/coolbeans/groovy/modules'

But now i'm sutck with this error:

So, the following error got fixed by adding providedCompile netbeansApi('org-netbeans-modules-editor-mimelookup') at the dependencies section:

The warnings containing RELEASE_[67] int the message are harmless.

The problem now is that i'm having a few NPE and assertions errors like:

I will try to work around these messages until the end of the week. Cya.

Still fighting to find were the NPE come from.

@kelemen , as a side question, what is the relation between your plugin and this pull request to enable Gradle support in NetBeans ?

Thanks.

[kelemen]

Nothing, that is a completely independent project.
