The following article describes how you can create and publish a custom UM plugin that is to be integrated into a cloud-hosted UM at AWS.
1. Create plugin using Kickstarter
Follow Install Kickstarter to prepare your local machine to create and develop Kickstarter-based UM projects.
Create a fresh plugin like this:
umkickstarter MY-PLUGIN-DIR -n acme.projectx.myplugin
Follow Kickstarter.md to develop your new plugin locally.
2. Prepare publishing the plugin
If Pinuts is hosting your UM installation at AWS, there already is an S3 bucket ready to be used as a maven repository. Ask us for the respective credentials: support@pinuts.de
You will receive an S3 bucket name and AWS access key.
Insert the following into your build.gradle file right after pinuts.version = ...:
...
// pinuts.projectName = 'myplugin'
// pinuts.groupId = 'acme.projectx'
// pinuts.version = getVersionFromPluginDescriptor('the_plugin/plugin.desc.json')
publishing {
publications {
cmsbsPlugin(MavenPublication) {
groupId = pinuts.groupId
artifactId = pinuts.projectName
version = "${pinuts.env}-SNAPSHOT"
artifact getCmsbsPluginDistFile()
}
}
repositories {
maven {
name "s3bucket"
url "s3://BUCKET_NAME/snapshots"
credentials(AwsCredentials) {
accessKey awsCredentials.AWSAccessKeyId
secretKey awsCredentials.AWSSecretKey
}
}
}
}
