The Gradle version currently in use is very (very) outdated and does not work with Java 12 or later, thus making it hard to contribute to the project. The OpenAPI Generator Gradle plugin already uses Kotlin code and interacts with Gradle's Kotlin DSL. Therefore, porting the project configuration itself to Gradle Kotlin DSL simplifies project configuration. It also provides better IntelliJ hinting and built-time type-safety.
Breaking Changes
I took the liberty and got rid of the Sonatype Gradle plugin. Publishing to OSS SonaType can be done entirely with the bundled maven-publish
Gradle. Continuous SNAPSHOT version publishing to any repository (~/.m2/repository
or remote) is very much a Maven thing. Developers can ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
directly when improving on the generator or it's Gradle plugin.
However, the close and release steps on SonaType are now manual tasks. Thus, a new release needs a person to do this final step. If this isn't an option, I could look into bringing back the old behavior as well.
Other remarks
I kept the Kotlin code cleanup in the plugin itself separate from the build configuration changes and could submit another MR. Those changes could probably get merged faster.
