Gradle dsl to specify the mainClass for protocPlugin

[mahieddine]

Hi,

I'm trying to rewrite this maven build script into gradle and i'm stuck with this section :

<protocPlugins>
        <protocPlugin>
            <id>quarkus-grpc-protoc-plugin</id>
            <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
            <artifactId>quarkus-grpc-protoc-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.10.5.Final</version>
            <mainClass>io.quarkus.grpc.protoc.plugin.MutinyGrpcGenerator</mainClass>
        </protocPlugin>
</protocPlugins>

How can we specify the mainClass for pure java plugins ?

Unfortunately, it only supports uber jar plugins now 😢 and requires the plugin jar specifies the main class in its manifest. We will probably add a mainClass API as that for the maven plugin, but we cannot foresee when that will happen.

Thank you for the confirmation, yeah it would be awesome if we can do that, the only temporary workaround that i found for the moment is to download the plugin jar, set the main class into the manifest and use that local version and it indeed work perfectly.

I just wanted to touch base on this issue. Are PRs welcome to implement this feature? Or is it on the roadmap?

For quarkus, it looks like the quarkus project should just set main-class in their generated JAR.
