Enunciate Gradle Plugin

Gradle plugin for generating documentation for Java-based Web service API projects using Enunciate.

Issues

If you experience any issues with the plugin, please file and issue at github, https://github.com/stoicflame/enunciate-gradle/issues

Applying the plugin

From version 2.17, the plugin will be compiled with Java 17, on Gradle 6+.

So your build process needs to run on Java 17 with a 6+ version of Gradle.

Usage

Use the plugin mechanism to load the plugin:

plugins {
  id "com.webcohesion.enunciate" version "2.17.0"
}

Enunciate Task

The plugin adds a single task which runs Enunciate. It uses the main sources and the compileClasspath (or specified) classpath of the project when invoking Enunciate.

The plugin also adds a configuration named enunciate where you can add additional enunciate module dependencies.

The task can be configured with these options:

Option	Default value	Description
buildDirName	enunciate	Enunciate's working directory, relative to Gradle's buildDir
configFileName	src/main/enunciate/enunciate.xml	Location of enunciate configuration file.
extraJavacArgs	[]	Javac arguments. Arguments for source, target, encoding and bootstrapClasspath are added automatically.

From version 2.11 there is this additional option:

Option	Default value	Description
classpathConfigName	compileClasspath	This configuration's files are passed on as classpath to the Enunciate compilation.

The task can be further configured with these methods:

Method	Operation
exclude(pattern)	Excludes files matching pattern from sources.
include(pattern)	Includes files matching pattern from sources (implicitly excluding those that do not match).
export(artifactId, destination)	Defines an artifact export (see https://github.com/stoicflame/enunciate/wiki/Artifacts). If the destination is a folder, the output is generated there. Otherwise the output is put in a zip file.
sourcepath(Object...)	Adds additional source paths. The given paths are evaluated as per Project.files(Object...).

Example usage

This will generate the documentation artifact and copy it to the dist/docs/api folder.

apply plugin: "com.webcohesion.enunciate"

dependencies {
  // From version 1.11 optionally add extra modules with:
  // enunciate "group:artifact:version"
}

tasks.enunciate {
  File enunciateDistDir = file("dist/docs/api")
  doFirst {
    enunciateDistDir.deleteDir()
    enunciateDistDir.mkdirs()
  }
  export("docs", enunciateDistDir)
}

Integrating Optional Modules

buildscript {
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.webcohesion.enunciate:enunciate-lombok:2.17.0"
  }
}

plugins {
  id "com.webcohesion.enunciate" version "2.17.0"
}
