Bintray JCenter

Bintray / JCenter

JCenter is a repository on Bintray, so refer to this page for information on JCenter artifacts.

DependencyManager provides a BintrayDependency class with the following constructor:

BintrayDependency(Plugin owner, String repositoryOwner, String repositoryName, String group, String artifact, String version)

As an example, we'll be loading my friend's owo.java artifact from Bintray.

We'll need to create a new instance of BintrayDependency and parse in the following parameters:

• owner: Instance of your Plugin
• repositoryOwner: bramhaag (The name of the Bintray user)
• repositoryName: maven (The name of the user's repository). My friend has called his repository maven, which is kind of confusing.
• group: me.bramhaag (Group ID of the binary)
• artifact: owo-java (Artifact ID of the binary)
• version: 2.2 (Version of the artifact)

Here's the result:

Dependency dependency = new BintrayDependency(this, "bramhaag", "maven", "me.bramhaag", "owo-java", "2.2");

If you're using an artifact from JCenter, however, you only need to provide the owner, group, artifact and version parameters.

As an example, we'll load the HikariCP artifact from JCenter:

Dependency dependency = new JCenterDependency(this, "com.zaxxer", "HikariCP", "3.2.0");

After we have created our Dependency instance, we can load it like normal by using Dependency#load:

dependency.load(() -> { // On complete  
  System.out.println("Artifact has been loaded");  
}, (ex) -> { // On error  
  ex.printStackTrace();  
});

Or as a one-liner:

dependency.load(this::start, Throwable::printStackTrace);
