How to create a Connector project in a separate project folder?

[danilomo]

I am trying to implement a custom connector by my own, in a separate project folder, using the sample projects as basis. Since the artefacts are not published yet on Maven central (#404), I tried to refer to the needed modules in the following way:

include(":some-module")
project(":some-module").projectDir = file("/path/to/project")

without success, because the gradle settings of each module inherits features and configuration from the project they belong.

Is there currently a way to create a connector project as a project apart from the DataSpaceConnector project?

You need to publish the artifacts to your local maven repository with:

./gradlew clean publishToMavenLocal

then you can reference the modules as dependencies like:

api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:some-module:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")

Thanks a lot. For further reference, the sample 01 build.gradle.kts will look like this:

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

plugins {
    `java-library`
    id("application")
    id("com.github.johnrengelman.shadow") version "7.0.0"
}

dependencies {
    api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:core:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:transfer-process-store-memory:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:assetindex-memory:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:contractnegotiation-store-memory:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    api("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector:contractdefinition-store-memory:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
}

application {
    mainClass.set("org.eclipse.dataspaceconnector.boot.system.runtime.BaseRuntime")
}

tasks.withType<com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.tasks.ShadowJar> {
    exclude("**/pom.properties", "**/pom.xm")
    mergeServiceFiles()
    archiveFileName.set("basic-connector.jar")
}
