Maven profiles equivalent of Gradle

Question

I'm trying to achieve a simple scenario in my spring boot project build: including / excluding dependencies and packaging war or jar depending on the environment.

So for example, for the environment dev include devtools and package jar, for prod package war etc.

I know it is not XML based configuration anymore and I can basically write if statements in my build.gradle but is there a recommended way of achieving this?

Can I declare some common dependencies and refer them in a single file instead of creating multiple build files?

Is there a best practice changing build configuration based on the build target environment?

Answer 1

ext {     devDependencies = ['org.foo:dep1:1.0', 'org.foo:dep2:1.0']     prodDependencies = ['org.foo:dep3:1.0', 'org.foo:dep4:1.0']     isProd = System.properties['env'] == 'prod'     isDev = System.properties['env'] == 'dev' }  apply plugin: 'java'  dependencies {     compile 'org.foo:common:1.0'     if (isProd) {        compile prodDependencies     }     if (isDev) {        compile devDependencies     } }  if (isDev) tasks.withType(War).all { it.enabled = false }

My version (inspired by Lance Java's answer):

apply plugin: 'war'  ext {   devDependencies = {     compile 'org.foo:dep1:1.0', {       exclude module: 'submodule'     }     runtime 'org.foo:dep2:1.0'   }    prodDependencies = {     compile 'org.foo:dep1:1.1'   }    commonDependencies = {     compileOnly 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1'   }    env = findProperty('env') ?: 'dev' }  dependencies project."${env}Dependencies" dependencies project.commonDependencies  if (env == 'dev') {   war.enabled = false }
