motion-maven

motion-maven allows RubyMotion projects to integrate with the Maven dependency manager.

Installation

You need to have maven installed:

$ brew install maven

And the gem installed:

$ [sudo] gem install motion-maven

Or if you use Bundler:

gem 'motion-maven'

Setup

1. Edit the Rakefile of your RubyMotion project and add the following require lines:

   require 'rubygems'
   require 'motion-maven'

1. Still in the Rakefile, set your dependencies

  Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
    # ...
    app.maven do
      dependency 'com.mcxiaoke.volley', :artifact => 'library', :version => '1.0.10'
      dependency 'commons-cli'
      dependency 'ehcache', :version => '1.2.3'
    end
  end

• Other options are: :scope, :type

• :version will default to: LATEST

• :artifact will default to dependency name

Configuration

If the mvn command is not in your path, you can configure it:

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  # ...
  app.maven.path = '/some/path/mvn'
end

You can also add other repositories :

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  # ...
  app.maven do
    repository 'https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter'
    repository 'http://dl.bintray.com/austintaylor/maven'
    dependency 'com.google.android', :artifact => 'support-v4'
  end
end

• Other options are: :snapshots (default:true), :releases (default:true)

Tasks

To tell motion-maven to download your dependencies, run the following rake task:

$ [bundle exec] rake maven:install

After a rake:clean:all you will need to run the install task agin.

That’s all.

Todo

• Improve the pom.xml generated file, if you are a fine Maven connoisseur, feel free to help us.
• Improve edge cases.

Note

motion-maven does not support android support libraries, RubyMotion might support it out of the box in the future: http://hipbyte.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RM-763
