I am wondering what people's approach is to build Groovy libraries with
Gradle. Most people will probably use something like
dependencies {
compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.7'
}
which will set the appropriate Groovy version as a dependency. This can
obvisously lead to some interestign Groovy version resslution when
combining multiple libraires with different Groovy versions as dependencies.
For a number of projects I have worked on, I have adopted the 'provided'
scope via the Nebula plugin, or since 'compileOnly' has become available
in Gradle defaulted to that i.e.
dependencies {
compileOnly 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.7'
}
This obviously means that the consumer of one of my Groovy libraries has
to explicitly state which version of Groovy they require, but IMO it is
better that way as it gives them more control.
Thoughts?
