Jitpack

[MatusBoa]

Hello,

I am trying to make plugin, that uses LightAPI, and I would like to use Jitpack. Problem is, Jitpack is returning error while trying to build your repository (https://jitpack.io/com/github/Qveshn/LightAPI/3.4.2/build.log). Each release is broken (https://jitpack.io/#Qveshn/LightAPI).

My current solution is

<dependency>
    <groupId>ru.beykerykt</groupId>
    <artifactId>lightapi-fork</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.2-fork</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/libs/LightAPI-fork-3.4.2.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

But I would love to use Jitpack for LightAPI (seems cleaner for me). Can you take a look what is going on?

Thanks.

Hi I am dummy in jitpack :) But I have looked into log (https://jitpack.io/com/github/Qveshn/LightAPI/3.4.2/build.log):

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project v1_15_R1: Could not resolve dependencies for project ru.beykerykt.lightapi.nms:v1_15_R1:jar:3.3.0: Could not find artifact org.bukkit:craftbukkit:jar:1.15-R0.1-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]

This means that your maven repository does not have org.bukkit:craftbukkit:jar:1.15-R0.1-SNAPSHOT Unfortunately, there is no any public maven repository with spigot/craftbukkit server (only API) Therefore, to get it you should build it yourself with BuildTools.jar.

Download BuildTools.jar here: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/BuildTools/ Place it in empty folder and run java -jar BuildTools.jar --generate-source --generate-docs --rev 1.15 This will build spigot + craftbukkit and add it to local maven as craftbukkit-1.15-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar Add option --compile craftbukkit if only spigot is builded, This step should be repeated for all nms from 1.8 to 1.15 (look at LightAPI project folder "nms")

---

Another way is to add LightAPI-fork-3.4.2.jar to your local maven repository manually. To do it go to your folder with LightAPI-fork-3.4.2.jar and run the commands:

set PATH=<maven bin path>;%PATH%
set JAVA_HOME=<java home path>

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=LightAPI-fork-3.4.2.jar -DgroupId=ru.beykerykt -DartifactId=LightAPI-fork -Dversion=3.4.2 -Dpackaging=jar

Hope that helped :)

This means that your maven repository

Problem is, I am not building it, Jitpack is building it, I guess I will try to contact Jitpack, maybe they will come up with solution..

[Qveshn]

Maybe to add LightAPI-fork-3.4.2.jar to some public repository and use that in your pom? Unfortunately, I don’t know how to create public repositories and how to add something there =(

[MatusBoa]

That would be great, I will try to find public maven repository, what could be used.

@Qveshn Found this one https://oss.sonatype.org/ from this article https://medium.com/@scottyab/how-to-publish-your-open-source-library-to-maven-central-5178d9579c5 , maybe that would work

ATM I am trying to make my repository at https://oss.sonatype.org/ There is not so simple. It needs time. Administartors from sonatype want something from me. I do not understand much. :D Be patient please

[Qveshn]

Hi I did some tests in sonatype I tried to deploy release but this is not simple. There are many requirements for artifact (sources, javadoc, additional attributes in pom, signature etc)

Therefore today I decided to start first with snapshot-version I have deployed it. I do not think that this is final variant of snapshot (I am studing sonatype and may be I remove it or re-deploy).

But now you can try to use dependence in your pom like:

    <repositories>
        ...
        <repository>
            <id>sonatype</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

    <dependencies>
         ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.qveshn</groupId>
            <artifactId>LightAPI-fork</artifactId>
            <version>3.4.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

I have tested this. My project was built succesfull :)

NOTES: packages in jar are still "ru.beykerykt.lightapi" but group id in pom is "io.github.qveshn". I know that this is not good. But this plugin is a fork. I do not want to change packages to prevent break other plugins from other authors who used it for a long time (sorry for english)

[Qveshn]

Hi Have you tested my public deployment?

[MatusBoa]

Hey,

I will try to test this ASAP

[Qveshn]

Have you tested public repository for LightAPI-fork?
