gradle-plugin-function-export

This is a functional example that exports a function (Closure) from a Gradle plugin.

Running

To try it out you can install the plugin into the local Maven repository.

plugin$ gradle install

and then test it in the 'user' project.

user$ gradle

Important

This method writes (injects) to the "Extra properties" if the project. This raises the possibility of a name collision and functions being overwritten. If this is a risk it is better to use static imports instead.

Static Imports as an alternative

Static imports allow resolving potential name conflicts with the import ... as mechanism.

module.groovy

def static func(...)

user.groovy

import static module.func as func
