Gradle plugin to auto-increments the patch version on each call to the publish task by looking up the most recent version published in the publishing maven repository and adds it by one.

Tested to work in the following scenarios:

  1. Single root project publication

  2. Single and multiple subprojects publication

  3. BOM references via api(platform(project(":bom"))) and java-platform plugin

  4. Manual versioning, prevents the task from publishing if the version isn’t different from the one in maven

semantic version plugin

Usage

Auto mode

Basic full example, but it can also be used for subprojects and bom subprojects. However, make sure the publication version number is in the format of \.[\d].

plugins {
    java
    `maven-publish`
    id("dev.poolside.gradle.semantic-version") version "0.2.0"
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

group = "dev.poolside.test"
version = "0.1"

publishing {
    publications {
        create("mavenJava") {
            artifactId = "my-library"
            from(components["java"])
        }
    }
}

Manual mode

If there’s a scenario in which you want to manually increment the semantic version. Therefore, the plugin will disable publishing if the version already exists in the repository.

semanticVersion {
    manual = true
}
