"library" not adding dependencies to pom.xml for Maven publication

[Telesphoreo]

So whenever I add something to my plugin as a library, it works fine. However, there's one problem. It won't add them to the pom.xml used for publishing.

To reproduce:

• Add something as a library
• Run the generatePomFileForMavenPublication task

If you're interested, my build.gradle file is here: https://github.com/plexusorg/Plex/blob/master/build.gradle

You'll see that it won't add it to the pom.xml. Any idea if we can get a fix for this?

PS: this plugin doesn't work on Gradle 7.4+

Our development team ended up fixing both issues ourselves. We updated the plugin to work with Gradle 7.4+

https://github.com/plexusorg/plugin-yml

You can use it by adding this to your settings.gradle file

    repositories {
        maven { url = uri("https://nexus.telesphoreo.me/repository/gradle-plugins-snapshots") }
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

Our version is 0.6.1-SNAPSHOT.

As for adding the dependencies to pom.xml, we've fixed it by adding the following to our build.gradle file:

            pom.withXml {
                def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode("dependencies")
                config.getAllDependencies().each { dependency ->
                    dependenciesNode.appendNode("dependency").with {
                        it.appendNode("groupId", dependency.group)
                        it.appendNode("artifactId", dependency.name)
                        it.appendNode("version", dependency.version)
                        it.appendNode("scope", "provided")
                    }
                }
            }

I'll leave this issue open in case anyone runs into the same problems.

This is an open-source project, contributions are welcome. :)

My time for investigating Minecraft-related issues is very limited at the moment (sadly), but I'd be happy to review pull requests or assist anyone brave enough to change code themselves. :)

You could do this by creating a libraryApi configuration which library and compileOnlyApi extend from:

val libraryApi = configurations.create("libraryApi")
configurations {
    library.get().extendsFrom(libraryApi)
    compileOnlyApi.get().extendsFrom(libraryApi)
}

The compileOnlyApi configuration is provided by the java-library plugin and automatically included in the published pom file.
