Index some java artifacts

[jypma]

ts-reaktive is a mixed multi-module Scala/Java SBT project. Some artifacts are Scala, some artifacts are Java-only. It's currently Java-focused, but we expect to add more Scala DSLs.

It's a bit unfortunate that its Java side seems to be ignored on its Scaladex page. Now I realize this is a Scala index, but could e.g. at least the Java artifacts also be made to show in the top-right dropdown? Maybe with a tag or something, that'd be even better.

After all, one of the reasons we started ts-reaktive was to show Java folks that writing reactive, immutable code is the way forward, while helping them to stumble onto Scala as well ;-)

This is important for Akka community page, which should be able to list java and scala projects.

Another known example of such library (written in Java, because we needed it to not depend on any given scala version) is the widely used https://github.com/typesafehub/config which we'd love to be listed in scalaindex as well. Akka and many many other projects use it as the configuration lib.

Would there be a way to somehow tag such libraries to have them included in scalaindex?

I will need to tweak things a bit but it should be possible.

We search Bintray for artifact containing the scala binary version in it's path: for example _2.11. Some artifacts don't use this convention and we have this workaround: https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex-contrib/blob/master/non-standard.json#L15 we can add for example: "com.typesafe config": "java"

From here we just make the ScalaTarget optional https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex/blob/master/data/src/main/scala/ch.epfl.scala.index.data/project/ProjectConvert.scala#L31 https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex/blob/master/model/src/main/scala/ch.epfl.scala.index.model/Release.scala#L226

In fact, there is not a lot of coupling with Scala in Scaladex. The same code could be used for a Java Index ;-).

I'm not quite clear what are the next steps here? Are you saying this is simple and you'll implement it, or "this is how you would do it"?

[MasseGuillaume]

Hey @ktoso,

I currently don't have the time to implement this right now. As soon I have some hacking time on Scaladex, I can add this feature. It's about 1 day of implementation time.

Meanwhile, you can add the java projects you wish we index in non-standard.json

[ktoso]

With the "pom" option? I'm not sure what to put there, are those modes documented somewhere?

I see, it is https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex-contrib#index-artifacts-which-are-published-in-java-style

Thanks!

@jypma can you make sure all ts-reaktive are listed here: https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex-contrib/pull/18/files#diff-8895eca74dad77edf4c2ea0b82cd983aR17
