BaseProject

Gradle template project with jar signing, publishing to maven central and GitHub workflows.

Setup the required environment variables

You need to add the following environment variables to your gradle.properties file, which is located in the .gradle folder in your home directory.

# Signing properties, see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/signing_plugin.html#sec:signatory_credentials
signing.keyId=<the last 8 digits of your key id>
signing.password=<your key password>
signing.secretKeyRingFile=<path to your keyring file>

# Reposilite credentials (In case you want to publish to a reposilite instance)
reposiliteUsername=<your account name>
reposilitePassword=<your account password>

# Maven central credentials (In case you want to publish to maven central)
# See https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-maven-gradle/
# This will also require to set up the signing properties
ossrhUsername=<your account name>
ossrhPassword=<your account password> # This is an access token nowadays

Publishing

Use ./gradlew publishAllPublicationsToOssrhRepository to publish to maven central.

Use ./gradlew publishAllPublicationsToReposiliteRepository to publish to a reposilite instance.

Use ./gradlew publish to publish to both.

Building

Use ./gradlew clean build to build the project.

Final steps

• Change all mentions of BaseProject to your project name.
• Change the maven coordinates in the gradle.properties file.
• Change the author/email in all files. (Replace FlorianMichael/EnZaXD with your own name, ...)
• Update the license header located in .idea/copyright/Apache_2_0.xml
• Update the publishing section in the build.gradle file.
• Delete the all sections between the Setup the required environment variables and Final steps sections.

Why another base project?

I wanted to have a template project for my own projects, which I can use to quickly start a new project.
