Generating JPA2 Metamodel from a Gradle build script

Question

I\'m trying to set up a Gradle build script for a new project. That project will use JPA 2 along with Querydsl.

On the following page of Querydsl\'s reference docume

I did not test it but this should work:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
apply plugin: 'java'
dependencies {
   compile(group: 'com.mysema.querydsl', name: 'querydsl-apt', version: '1.8.4')
   compile(group: 'com.mysema.querydsl', name: 'querydsl-jpa', version: '1.8.4')
   compile(group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-log4j12', version: '1.6.1')
}

compileJava {
    doFirst {
        Map otherArgs = [
            includeAntRuntime: false,
            destdir: destinationDir,
            classpath: configurations.compile.asPath,
            sourcepath: '',
            target: targetCompatibility,
            source: sourceCompatibility
        ]
        options.compilerArgs = [
            '-processor', 'com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor',
            '-s', "${destinationDir.absolutePath}".toString()
        ]
        Map antOptions = otherArgs + options.optionMap()
        ant.javac(antOptions) {
            source.addToAntBuilder(ant, 'src', FileCollection.AntType.MatchingTask)
            options.compilerArgs.each {value ->
                compilerarg(value: value)
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope it helps.

This guy's gist worked for me: https://gist.github.com/EdwardBeckett/5377401

sourceSets {
    generated {
        java {
            srcDirs = ['src/main/generated']
        }
    }
}

configurations {
    querydslapt
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.0-api:1.0.1.Final'
    compile "com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-jpa:$querydslVersion"
    querydslapt "com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-apt:$querydslVersion"
}

task generateQueryDSL(type: JavaCompile, group: 'build', description: 'Generates the QueryDSL query types') {
    source = sourceSets.main.java
    classpath = configurations.compile + configurations.querydslapt
    options.compilerArgs = [
            "-proc:only",
            "-processor", "com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor"
    ]
    destinationDir = sourceSets.generated.java.srcDirs.iterator().next()
}

compileJava {
    dependsOn generateQueryDSL
    source generateQueryDSL.destinationDir
}

compileGeneratedJava {
    dependsOn generateQueryDSL
    options.warnings = false
    classpath += sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}

clean {
    delete sourceSets.generated.java.srcDirs
}

idea {
    module {
        sourceDirs += file('src/main/generated')
    }
}

The Querydsl Ant example should work pretty much as is when you take all the XML out. So it ends up being something like this:

javac -sourcepath ${src} -cp ${cp} -proc:only -processor com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor -s ${generated}

src, cp and generated you will probably be able to extract from Gradle.

To use the JPA Metamodel Generator with Gradle I'm successfully using the following in my build.gradle and it works like a charm:

buildscript {
    ext {}
    repositories { // maven central & plugins.gradle.org/m2 }
    dependencies {
        // other dependencies, e.g. Spring
        classpath('gradle.plugin.at.comm_unity.gradle.plugins:jpamodelgen-plugin:1.1.1')
    }

    apply plugin: 'at.comm_unity.gradle.plugins.jpamodelgen'

    dependencies {
        compile('org.hibernate:hibernate-jpamodelgen:5.1.0.Final')
    }

    jpaModelgen {
        jpaModelgenSourcesDir = "src/main/java"
    }

    compileJava.options.compilerArgs += ["-proc:none"]
}

Within the build task, the static metamodel classes suffixed with '_' are generated. Afterwards they are located in the same directory as my @Entity models are.

With Gradle 1.3 and newer (older not tested) you can use Querydsl APT like this:

configurations {
  javacApt
}
dependencies {
  javacApt 'com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-apt:3.3.0'
}
compileJava {
  options.compilerArgs <<
    '-processorpath' << (configurations.compile + configurations.javacApt).asPath <<
    '-processor' << 'com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor'
}

These compiler args are passed directly to javac.

To use with groovy compiler replace compileJava with compileGroovy.

Here is simple setup that works and integrates seamlessly with netbeans. Javac will basicly do all the job needed without much intervention. The rest are small treaks that will make it work with IDEs like Netbeans.

apply plugin:'java'

dependencies {
    // Compile-time dependencies should contain annotation processors
    compile(group: 'com.mysema.querydsl', name: 'querydsl-apt', version: '1.8.4')
    compile(group: 'com.mysema.querydsl', name: 'querydsl-jpa', version: '1.8.4')
    compile(group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-log4j12', version: '1.6.1')
}

ext {
    generatedSourcesDir = file("${buildDir}/generated-sources/javac/main/java")
}

// This section is the key to IDE integration.
// IDE will look for source files in both in both
//
//  * src/main/java
//  * build/generated-sources/javac/main/java
//
sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir 'src/main/java'
            srcDir generatedSourcesDir
        }
    }
}

// These are the only modifications to build process that are required.
compileJava {
    doFirst {
        // Directory should exists before compilation started.
        generatedSourcesDir.mkdirs()
    }
    options.compilerArgs += ['-s', generatedSourcesDir]
}

And that's it. Javac will make the rest of the job.
