A Gradle 7.4+ plugin to make Gradle use dependencies from _module-info.java_ files automatically.
A Gradle plugin to make Gradle use dependencies from _module-info.java_ files automatically.
If you have a project that fully uses Java Modules, you do **not** need to declare dependencies in the `dependencies { }` block anymore.
Gradle will use the information from your `module-info.java` directly.

To manage the versions of Java Modules, the plugin conveniently integrates with
Minimal required Gradle version:
- **Gradle 7.4** if you **not** use the plugin in `settings.gradle.kts`
- **Gradle 8.8** to use the plugin in `settings.gradle.kts` and the [additional functionality](#project-structure-definition-when-using-this-plugin-as-settings-plugin) that comes with it.

To manage the versions of Java Modules, the plugin integrates with
[Platform Projects](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_platform_plugin.html#sec:java_platform_usage) and
[Dependency Versions Constraints](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_constraints.html#sec:adding-constraints-transitive-deps) in general

# How to use?

For a quick start, you can find some samples here:

* [samples/versions-in-catalog](samples/versions-in-catalog)
* [samples/module-info-dsl](samples/module-info-dsl)
* [samples/module-info-dsl-no-platform](samples/module-info-dsl-no-platform)
* [samples/kotlin](samples/kotlin)
Working (example) projects to inspect:
- [java-module-system](https://github.com/jjohannes/java-module-system) contains a compact sample and further documentation
- [gradle-project-setup-howto](https://github.com/jjohannes/gradle-project-setup-howto/tree/java_module_system) is a full-fledged Java Module System project setup
- [hedera-services](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-services) is an open-source Java project using this plugin large scale

```

Note that `requires /*runtime*/` is a directive specifically supported by this plugin to allow the specification of _runtime only_ dependencies.

## Project structure definition when using this plugin as Settings Plugin

The plugin offers a Gradle DSL extension to configure the location of _Java Modules_ in the project structure to be used
in the `settings.gradle(.kts)` file. It is an alternative to Gradle's native `include(...)` statement to configure
subprojects. The advantage of using this is that it is more compact than Gradle's `include(...)` and allows the plugin
to pick up more information during the [initialization phase](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_lifecycle.html#sec:initialization).
By this, the plugin is later able to establish dependencies between your own modules without making assumptions about
how they need to be named (which is different when you use the plugin as
[Project Plugin](#project-structure-definition-when-using-this-plugin-as-project-plugin)).

```
// settings.gradle(.kts)
javaModules { // use instead of 'include(...)'
module("module-a") // Module in directory 'module-a' - searches 'src/*/java' for 'module-info.java' files
module("module-b") {
group = "org.example" // define group early in settings so that all projects know all groups
artifact = "lib-x" // Gradle subproject name (if differnt than directory)
plugin("java-library") // apply plugin to the Module's subproject to omit 'build.gradle' completey
}
directory("modules") { // Auto-include all Modules in subfolders of 'modules'
group = "org.example" // group for all Modules
plugin("java-library") // apply plugin to all Modules' subprojects
module("app") { ... } // individualise Module (only if needed)
}
versions("gradle/versions") // A subproject that is automatically configures as Platform Project
}
```

## Project structure definition when using this plugin as Project Plugin

In this setup, subproject with Java Module are configured as in any traditional Gradle build: by using the
`include(...)` statement in `settings.gradle(.kts)`. The plugin is then applied in all subprojects with Java Modules,
ideally though a convention plugin. If you use the plugin like this, it needs to make some assumption due to missing
information and thus, for example, requires you to have the Gradle _project names_, _groups_ and _Java Module Names_
align. The preferred way is to use the plugin as [Settings Plugin](#project-structure-definition-when-using-this-plugin-as-settings-plugin).

## Define additional module dependencies in build files

With this plugin you move dependency definitions into `module-info.java` files and no longer use the `dependencies {}` block in build files.
