vela - development tools, libraries and plugins

This repository contains various tools, libraries or plugins. I created them for my personal use. but if you find any of them useful you are free to use them for yourself (without ANY WARRANTIES).

The name vela means sail and I chose it, because these tool should accelerate your development or project :slight_smile:.

Using vela

To use components from vela in your projects you can get prebuilt artifacts from my artifactory or build them yourself.

To include any libraries use the following declaration in your build.gradle[.kts]:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "artifactory-menkalian"
        url = uri("https://artifactory.menkalian.de/artifactory/menkalian")
    }
}

To use the gradle plugins include the following in your settings.gradle[.kts]:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        maven {
            name = "artifactory-menkalian"
            url = uri("https://artifactory.menkalian.de/artifactory/menkalian")
        }
    }
}

Versions

Starting with version 2.0.0 all plugins share the same versioning. Increments in the version are also marked by git tags (release-2.x.x). It is recommended to use the latest version for all components.
