Gradle compileJava Task keeps failing

alright i've been hiting my head against the wall for quite sometime now, and now i dont even know what to search for to find a solution, here are my files

build.gradle

    //Applying the Gradle BND Plugin for Workspace Builds
    //https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/blob/master/biz.aQute.bnd.gradle/README.md
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "biz.aQute.bnd:biz.aQute.bnd.gradle:${bnd_version}"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'biz.aQute.bnd.workspace'
apply plugin: 'java'

    // Repositorios, aguante Maven Central.
repositories {
    mavenCentral()

    /* Excluded, uso la dependecia de otro lado ahora.
    flatDir {
        dirs '/home/feddericokz/devTools/Equinox/Equinox-Oxygen-1a/plugins'
    }
    */
}

    // Dependencias
dependencies {
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.osgi/org.osgi.core
    compile group: 'org.osgi', name: 'org.osgi.core', version: '6.0.0'
}

rootProject.name = 'bndWorkspace'

include 'com.feddericokz.helloworld'

when trying to run gradle jar from the command line, i get an error as it the compiler cant find the osgi dependencies to compile the classes

What am i doing wrong?

EDIT: a typo

Solution

  • If you are using a Bnd workspace model build, then you must configure the build path through each project's bnd.bnd file using the -buildpath Bnd instruction. Then the Bnd gradle plugin will use that information to program the configurations for java compilation.

    Your example shows setting a compile dependency for the root gradle project which is wrong since (1) you should be using -buildpath in the project's bnd.bnd file and (2) it is done in the root project which is not meaningful to any child projects like your com.feddericokz.helloworld project.

    So change your build.gradle file to not apply the 'java' plugin to the root project and not set compile dependencies for the root project and change your Bnd workspace so that the workspace (cnf) has configured repositories to access the desired bundles, for example https://github.com/osgi/enroute.workspace/blob/4070ff6668a1ee79b9b01cfa4caab86869247e7b/cnf/ext/enroute.bnd#L22-L28, and then set each project's bnd.bnd file to have the desired bundles on the -buildpath.
