PropertyDescription
sourceCompatibility

The source compatibility used for compiling Java sources.

targetCompatibility

The target compatibility used for compiling Java sources.

Methods

MethodDescription
disableAutoTargetJvm()

If this method is called, Gradle will not automatically try to fetch dependencies which have a JVM version compatible with the target compatibility of this module.

registerFeature(name, configureAction)

Registers a feature.

withJavadocJar()
Incubating

Adds a task javadocJar that will package the output of the javadoc task in a JAR with classifier javadoc.

withSourcesJar()
Incubating

Adds a task sourcesJar that will package the Java sources of the main SourceSet in a JAR with classifier sources.

Script blocks

No script blocks

Property details

JavaVersion sourceCompatibility

The source compatibility used for compiling Java sources.

Default with java plugin:
Value of the current used JVM (e.g. JavaVersion.JAVA_1_6 on a 1.6 JVM).

JavaVersion targetCompatibility

The target compatibility used for compiling Java sources.

Default with java plugin:
project.sourceCompatibility

Method details

void disableAutoTargetJvm()

If this method is called, Gradle will not automatically try to fetch dependencies which have a JVM version compatible with the target compatibility of this module.

This should be used whenever the default behavior is not applicable, in particular when for some reason it's not possible to split a module and that this module only has some classes which require dependencies on higher versions.

void registerFeature(String name, Action<? super FeatureSpec> configureAction)

Registers a feature.

void withJavadocJar()

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Adds a task javadocJar that will package the output of the javadoc task in a JAR with classifier javadoc.

The produced artifact is registered as a documentation variant on the java component and added as a dependency on the assemble task. This means that if maven-publish or ivy-publish is also applied, the javadoc JAR will be published.

If the project already has a task named javadocJar then no task is created.

The publishing of the Javadoc variant can also be disabled using ConfigurationVariantDetails.skip() through AdhocComponentWithVariants.withVariantsFromConfiguration(org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration, org.gradle.api.Action), if it should only be built locally by calling or wiring the ':javadocJar' task.

void withSourcesJar()

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Adds a task sourcesJar that will package the Java sources of the main SourceSet in a JAR with classifier sources.

The produced artifact is registered as a documentation variant on the java component and added as a dependency on the assemble task. This means that if maven-publish or ivy-publish is also applied, the sources JAR will be published.

If the project already has a task named sourcesJar then no task is created.

The publishing of the sources variant can be disabled using ConfigurationVariantDetails.skip() through AdhocComponentWithVariants.withVariantsFromConfiguration(org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration, org.gradle.api.Action), if it should only be built locally by calling or wiring the ':sourcesJar' task.
