Jitpack.io: Add support for Kobalt

[cbeust]

Kobalt: http://beust.com/kobalt

What needs to be done:

1. Detect the existence of kobalt/src/Build.kt
2. Run ./kobaltw install
3. Grab the artifacts from kobaltBuild/libs and put those in your maven repo

Thanks!

Hi

Is there a way for to install the libs in the local maven repo as well?

[cbeust]

@jitpack-io By "local maven repo", do you mean the repo cache (Maven puts it in ~/.m2/repository, Kobalt in ~/.kobalt/repository) or a local running instance such as artifactory?

[jitpack-io]

Just the ~/.m2/repository but ~/.kobalt/repository would do as well.

[cbeust]

No, install doesn't do that. Nor should it: these cache directories are only touched by the build tool (whether it be gradle or kobalt). If Kobalt encounters this dependency in a build file, then it will download that artifact in the cache directory.

Do you need the artifacts to be in these cache directories?

[jitpack-io]

~/.m2/repository would be the simplest since that's how JitPack finds artifacts from other build tools.

Just wanted to check in on this

Hi @sanity

There's really just one small issue. JitPack was designed to pick up artifacts from ~/.m2/repository so making it pick up kobaltBuild/libs is an internal change. Not saying it can't be done but there are priorities.
If anyone has a script/lib that can publish kobaltBuild/libs to ~/.m2 then that'd be the quickest way to support kobalt.

I think the maven repository problem can be fixed by including @ethauvin plugin https://github.com/ethauvin/kobalt-maven-local

[pabl0rg]

I managed to publish this project with jitpack and use it from another project with full success. In summary, I used @ethauvin's plugin and added this jitpack.yml

install:
   - echo "Running kobalt publishToMavenLocal"
   - rm -rf .kobalt/build
   - ./kobaltw --log 2 clean publishToMavenLocal

this is the resulting build log

Same, I haven't had any issues jitpack the few times I tried. Please reopen if you have an example that doesn't work.
