Build Flavors Project for Java

Build Flavors are commonly used in android apps via android gradle plugin. This allows the project to have a directory structure

src
  - main
    - com.stack.A.java
  - debug
    - com.stack.B.java
  - release
    - com.stack.B.java

This will only compile the correct one B.java

depending on the release type selected.

Is there a way to mirror this functionality without using the android gradle plugin and only using the java plugin?

It's called sourceSet in Java plugin, see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_plugin.html

main

and test

source sets are created automatically, to add more source sets, you can do something like below. Basically both release and debug also use codes mostly



apply plugin: 'java'

sourceSets {
    release {
        java {
            srcDirs 'src/main/java', 'src/release/java'
        }
    }

    debug {
        java {
            srcDirs 'src/main/java', 'src/debug/java'
        }
    }
}

I wrote a plugin for this. For example,

apply plugin: 'com.lazan.javaflavours'
javaFlavours {
    flavours = ['free', 'paid']
}


Then sources from src/free/java

and src/paid/java

and resources to src/free/resources

andsrc/paid/resources
