Question

In Gradle, how can I generate a POM file with dynamic dependencies resolved to the actual version used?

dependencies {
    testCompile(group: \'junit\', name         


        

Answer 1

It will require some effort to code this up. The two main parts are:

• Querying resolved versions using the Configuration#getIncoming or Configuration#getResolvedConfiguration API
• Manipulating the POM using Groovy's XMlParser API (assuming the new maven-publish plugin is used)

Information about the Configuration API can be found in the Gradle Build Language Reference, which further links into the Javadoc. The full Gradle distribution contains a tiny sample that demonstrates POM manipulation. Information about XmlParser can be found in the Groovy docs.
