XML Formatter Gradle Plugin

The XML Formatter Gradle plugin lets you format a project’s XML files using the Liferay XML Formatter tool.

The plugin has been successfully tested with Gradle 4.10.2.

Usage

To use the plugin, include it in your build script:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath group: "com.liferay", name: "com.liferay.gradle.plugins.xml.formatter", version: "1.0.11"
    }

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://repository-cdn.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
        }
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.liferay.xml.formatter"

Since the plugin automatically resolves the Liferay XML Formatter library as a dependency, you have to configure a repository that hosts the library and its transitive dependencies. The Liferay CDN repository hosts them all:

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://repository-cdn.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
    }
}

Tasks

The plugin adds one task to your project:

NameDepends OnTypeDescription
formatXML-FormatXMLTaskRuns the Liferay XML Formatter to format the project files.

If the java plugin is applied, the task formats XML files contained in the resources directories of the main source set (by default: src/main/resources/**/*.xml).

FormatXMLTask

Tasks of type FormatXMLTask extend SourceTask, so all its properties and methods, such as include and exclude, are available.

Task Properties

Property NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
classpathFileCollectionproject.configurations.xmlFormatterThe classpath for executing the main class.
mainClassNameString"com.liferay.xml.formatter.XMLFormatter"The fully qualified name of the XML Formatter Main class.
stripCommentsbooleanfalseWhether to remove all the comments from the XML files. It sets the xml.formatter.strip.comments argument.

Additional Configuration

There are additional configurations that can help you use the XML Formatter.

Liferay XML Formatter Dependency

By default, the plugin creates a configuration called xmlFormatter and adds a dependency to the latest released version of the Liferay XML Formatter. It is possible to override this setting and use a specific version of the tool by manually adding a dependency to the xmlFormatter configuration:

dependencies {
    xmlFormatter group: "com.liferay", name: "com.liferay.xml.formatter", version: "1.0.5"
}
