Gradle Propelled Deployments: Dynamicity for Your Published Artifacts
JFrog developed a very well adopted Artifactory plugin, which helps users to resolve and deploy artifacts from/to Artifactory. It also collect build the information, which is attached to the deployed artifacts.
In this use case talk we will show how Gradle extensibility allowed us to provide Artifactory plugin with unique features such as dynamic metadata usage, which can be done only in Gradle.
We will cover every step of our journey - how we wrote, built and how we distribute the Gradle plugin to the world.
