How do you add local .jar file dependency to build.gradle.kt file?
If you are looking for the equivalent of
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
that would be:
implementation(fileTree(mapOf("dir" to "libs", "include" to listOf("*.jar"))))
Another answer suggests using map keys and values like we usually do in Groovy. Instead of using that dynamic approach, a more idiomatic and type-safe equivalent would be to use the closure to filter which files to include in the file tree:
api(fileTree("src/main/libs") { include("*.jar") })
For Kotlin dsl in gradle 5.4.1 with build.gradle.kts
use
implementation(files("/commonjar/3rdparty/gson-2.8.5.jar"))
I suggest add single file at once because it is easier to keep track of dependencies.
full build.gradle.kts
look like this
plugins {
// Apply the java-library plugin to add support for Java Library
`java-library`
}
repositories {
// Use jcenter for resolving your dependencies.
// You can declare any Maven/Ivy/file repository here.
jcenter()
}
configurations { create("externalLibs") }
dependencies {
// This dependency is exported to consumers, that is to say found on their compile classpath.
api("org.apache.commons:commons-math3:3.6.1")
// This dependency is used internally, and not exposed to consumers on their own compile classpath.
implementation("com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-jre")
implementation(files("/commonjar/3rdparty/gson-2.8.5.jar"))
// Use JUnit test framework
testImplementation("junit:junit:4.12")
}
