Manually compiled subset of JavaCPP Presets could not be accessed by Gradle

[maximumspatium]

I'm experiencing an issue when I try to use leptonica + tessseract bindings, compiled from the latest trunk and installed into Maven local repository, from within Gradle. I've correctly added all required dependencies and pointed Gradle to MavenLocal repository.

Gradle does report the following error:

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':compile'.
> Could not resolve org.bytedeco.javacpp-presets:leptonica:1.71-0.11.
  Required by:
      :Project:unspecified
   > Could not parse POM file:/****/*****/.m2/repository/org/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/leptonica/1.71-0.11/leptonica-1.71-0.11.pom
      > Could not find org.bytedeco:javacpp-presets:0.11.

It looks like the parent POM is missing. I've looked into the local .m2 directory and the expected parent pom "javacpp-presets-0.11.pom" is, indeed, not there.

I'm using the following terminal commands in order to get everything built and installed:

bash cppbuild.sh -platform linux-x86 install leptonica tesseract
mvn install --projects leptonica,tesseract

Below the results:

Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thank you in advance!

No SNAPSHOT qualifier? Is it supported by Gradle?

Hello Samuel,

IIRC, Gradle does support Maven snapshots. They are just called "changing modules" in the Gradle's jargon.
Anyway, I've tried without "-SNAPSHOT" as well. Neither solution works...

Oh, I see the problem: mvn install --projects leptonica,tesseract doesn't install the parent module. Using a period like this mvn install --projects .,leptonica,tesseract usually works. We should add that to the README.md file. Let me know do that...

Hi Samuel,

oh man, that ugly Maven strikes back...

Anyway, thank you very much for the hint! It works now as expected.

The issue can be closed now. It would be nice to update the README accordigly. Smth like this:

Please ensure that the list of comma-separated projects starts with ".". Otherwise, the generated artifacts could be incomplete.

Thank you in advance!
Best regards
