Overview

The Bintray plugin is a Gradle plugin to allow easier use of Bintray repositories. It is available for use under the Apache License, Version 2.0. If you have any issues, please check the issue tracker, and if there isn't anything relevant, submit a new issue.

This plugin is unlikely to receive further updates, as Gradle 1.7 looks like it will have this type of functionality built-in.

Installation

If you aren't already using the Gradle Wrapper, start now. It makes it easy for people using your project to build with Gradle without requiring Gradle to be installed ahead of time, as well as providing an easy way to encourage use of the intended version of Gradle.

To use the Bintray plugin:

• Download "Bintray.gradle" into the gradle directory created by the Gradle Wrapper based on one of the download links below.
• Configure your build.gradle based on the example below. Depending on your codebase (multi-project, etc.) you may need to tweak the path a little.

build.gradle

buildscript {
    apply from: 'gradle/Bintray.gradle'
}

Note that the apply statement MUST be in the buildscript block and before any bintray repository definitions in order to work as intended. If you apply the script outside of the buildscript block, the bintray extension to the buildscript RepositoryHandler will not be registered in time for use resolving buildscript dependencies.

Download Links

Creating this plugin required the usage of Gradle internal APIs which may not be stable across versions. Below is a matrix of tested compatible versions. In general, it's best to use the latest version that's shown as tested with your version of Gradle.

Gradle Version	Plugin Version
1.4	0.1.0

You can get the latest development version here.

Configuration

The plugin adds special syntax in repositories blocks to declare Bintray repositories.

Authentication

Bintray-owned repositories (such as the JCenter repository) allow anonymous downloads via Gradle, but others don't. For them, you'll need to configure authentication. The recommended method is to add bintrayUserName and bintrayApiKey properties to your gradle.properties file, based on the example below:

bintrayUserName = joe
bintrayApiKey = 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Configuration Example

repositories {
    bintray.jcenter() // Bintray-owned, allows anonymous access
    bintray.repo(repoOwner: 'davidmc24', repoName: 'gradle-plugins') // Uses credentials from gradle.properties
    bintray.repo(repoOwner: 'WowCorp', repoName: 'AmazingSoftware') {
        credentials {
            username = 'joe'
            password = '1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef'
        }
    }
}
