Publishing Java packages with Gradle

You can use Gradle to publish Java packages to a registry as part of your continuous integration (CI) workflow.

Remarque

Les exécuteurs hébergés sur GitHub ne sont pas pris en charge sur GitHub Enterprise Server. Vous pouvez voir plus d’informations sur le support futur planifié dans la GitHub public roadmap.

Introduction

Ce guide vous montre comment créer un workflow qui publie des packages Java sur GitHub Packages et le dépôt central Maven. Avec un seul workflow, vous pouvez publier des packages sur un dépôt unique ou sur plusieurs dépôts.

Avertissement

Les exemples utilisés dans ce guide font référence au service OSSRH hérité. Consultez Publication dans la documentation du référentiel central Maven.

Prerequisites

We recommend that you have a basic understanding of workflow files and configuration options. For more information, see Writing workflows.

For more information about creating a CI workflow for your Java project with Gradle, see Building and testing Java with Gradle.

You may also find it helpful to have a basic understanding of the following:

About package configuration

The groupId and artifactId fields in the MavenPublication section of the build.gradle file create a unique identifier for your package that registries use to link your package to a registry. This is similar to the groupId and artifactId fields of the Maven pom.xml file. For more information, see the Maven Publish Plugin in the Gradle documentation.

The build.gradle file also contains configuration for the distribution management repositories that Gradle will publish packages to. Each repository must have a name, a deployment URL, and credentials for authentication.

Publishing packages to the Maven Central Repository

Each time you create a new release, you can trigger a workflow to publish your package. The workflow in the example below runs when the release event triggers with type created. The workflow publishes the package to the Maven Central Repository if CI tests pass. For more information on the release event, see Événements qui déclenchent des flux de travail.

You can define a new Maven repository in the publishing block of your build.gradle file that points to your package repository. For example, if you were deploying to the Maven Central Repository through the OSSRH hosting project, your build.gradle could specify a repository with the name "OSSRH".

Groovy
plugins {
  ...
  id 'maven-publish'
}

publishing {
  ...

  repositories {
    maven {
      name = "OSSRH"
      url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/"
      credentials {
        username = System.getenv("MAVEN_USERNAME")
        password = System.getenv("MAVEN_PASSWORD")
      }
    }
  }
}

With this configuration, you can create a workflow that publishes your package to the Maven Central Repository by running the gradle publish command. In the deploy step, you’ll need to set environment variables for the username and password or token that you use to authenticate to the Maven repository. For more information, see Using secrets in GitHub Actions.

# des conditions d’utilisation du service, une politique de confidentialité et un support distincts.
# documentation en ligne.

# GitHub recommande d’épingler les actions à un SHA de commit.
# Pour obtenir une version plus récente, vous devez mettre à jour le SHA.
# Vous pouvez également référencer une balise ou une branche, mais l’action peut changer sans avertissement.

name: Publish package to the Maven Central Repository

  release:
    types: [created]

  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Set up Java
        uses: actions/setup-java@v4
        with:
          java-version: '11'
          distribution: 'temurin'

      - name: Setup Gradle
        uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@af1da67850ed9a4cedd57bfd976089dd991e2582 # v4.0.0

      - name: Publish package
        run: ./gradlew publish
        env:
          MAVEN_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.OSSRH_USERNAME }}
          MAVEN_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.OSSRH_TOKEN }}

Ce workflow effectue les étapes suivantes :

  1. Extrait une copie du dépôt du projet.

  2. Configure le JDK Java.

  3. Configure l’environnement Gradle. L’action gradle/actions/setup-gradle effectue la mise en cache de l’état entre les exécutions de flux de travail et fournit un résumé détaillé de toutes les exécutions Gradle.

  4. Executes the Gradle publish task to publish to the OSSRH Maven repository. The MAVEN_USERNAME environment variable will be set with the contents of your OSSRH_USERNAME secret, and the MAVEN_PASSWORD environment variable will be set with the contents of your OSSRH_TOKEN secret.

    For more information about using secrets in your workflow, see Using secrets in GitHub Actions.

Publishing packages to GitHub Packages

Each time you create a new release, you can trigger a workflow to publish your package. The workflow in the example below runs when the release event triggers with type created. The workflow publishes the package to GitHub Packages if CI tests pass. For more information on the release event, see Événements qui déclenchent des flux de travail.

You can define a new Maven repository in the publishing block of your build.gradle that points to GitHub Packages. In that repository configuration, you can also take advantage of environment variables set in your CI workflow run. You can use the GITHUB_ACTOR environment variable as a username, and you can set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable with your GITHUB_TOKEN secret.

Le secret GITHUB_TOKEN a la valeur d’un jeton d’accès pour le dépôt chaque fois qu’un travail d’un workflow démarre. Vous devez définir les autorisations de ce jeton d’accès dans le fichier de workflow afin d’octroyer l’accès en lecture pour l’autorisation contents et l’accès en écriture pour l’autorisation packages. Pour plus d’informations, consultez « Automatic token authentication ».

For example, if your organization is named "octocat" and your repository is named "hello-world", then the GitHub Packages configuration in build.gradle would look similar to the below example.

Groovy
plugins {
  ...
  id 'maven-publish'
}

publishing {
  ...

  repositories {
    maven {
      name = "GitHubPackages"
      url = "https://maven.pkg.github.com/octocat/hello-world"
      credentials {
        username = System.getenv("GITHUB_ACTOR")
        password = System.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
      }
    }
  }
}

With this configuration, you can create a workflow that publishes your package to GitHub Packages by running the gradle publish command.

        run: ./gradlew publish
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Publishing packages to the Maven Central Repository and GitHub Packages

You can publish your packages to both the Maven Central Repository and GitHub Packages by configuring each in your build.gradle file.

Ensure your build.gradle file includes a repository for both your GitHub repository and your Maven Central Repository provider.

For example, if you deploy to the Central Repository through the OSSRH hosting project, you might want to specify it in a distribution management repository with the name set to OSSRH. If you deploy to GitHub Packages, you might want to specify it in a distribution management repository with the name set to GitHubPackages.

If your organization is named "octocat" and your repository is named "hello-world", then the configuration in build.gradle would look similar to the below example.

Groovy
plugins {
  ...
  id 'maven-publish'
}

publishing {
  ...

  repositories {
    maven {
      name = "OSSRH"
      url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/"
      credentials {
        username = System.getenv("MAVEN_USERNAME")
        password = System.getenv("MAVEN_PASSWORD")
      }
    }
    maven {
      name = "GitHubPackages"
      url = "https://maven.pkg.github.com/octocat/hello-world"
      credentials {
        username = System.getenv("GITHUB_ACTOR")
        password = System.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
      }
    }
  }
}

With this configuration, you can create a workflow that publishes your package to both the Maven Central Repository and GitHub Packages by running the gradle publish command.
