How to use caliko in a Gradle project?

[shueja]

Hello,
I'm probably just bad at Gradle but doing
dependencies{ implementation("au.edu.federation.caliko:caliko:1.3.6") implementation("au.edu.feduni.caliko.visualisation:caliko-visualisation:1.3.6")
gives me
`A problem occurred evaluating root project 'BaseElbow'.

What should I use instead?

I didn't end up uploading Caliko to the maven repos in the end because it was a lot of hoop-jumping that I wasn't really interested in doing.

The easiest way to use the libraries is through the jar files provided in each Caliko release. There's a write-up about how to do this (using Eclipse as the target IDE) in the user documentation.

Cheers!

I'm trying the same for Maven, no luck yet.

• I didn't find it in https://search.maven.org/
• My usually-works plan B of https://jitpack.io/com/github/FedUni/caliko/v1.3.8/build.log - build fails.

I ended up installing it locally (but the jit path would ne nice for the future)

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file -Dfile=/ABSOLUTEPATH/caliko-1.3.8.jar
and

        <dependency>
            <groupId>au.edu.federation.caliko</groupId>
            <artifactId>caliko</artifactId>
            <version>1.3.8</version>
        </dependency>

Unfortunately I'm pretty rubbish with maven - with regard to the jit path, do you mean I should add something like this to the README.md:

To obtain the library in maven via JitPack.io, please add the JitPack repository to your build file:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
     </repository>
</repositories>

And then add the Caliko dependency as shown below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.FedUni</groupId>
    <artifactId>caliko</artifactId>
    <version>v1.3.8</version>
</dependency>

Is that what you mean? I'd never even heard of jitpack before 5 minutes ago, lol.

That is exactly what I meant! Normally it is a very easy way to get a build of a project that has commits and or releases that aren't up in maven central. (I too am bad at maven) I did those steps, but it isn't working for some reason. The compile logs in jitpack said it borked.

Haha, I know less than you about this stuff, mate.

If you want to fix it then clone the repo, make your changes and submit a pull request with a detailed commit log - I'll accept anything that's sane and useful. Emphasis on sane and useful ;-)
