How to Generate a POM File for a Gradle Project with All Dependencies

When working with a Gradle project, you might find yourself needing to create a POM (Project Object Model) file that includes not just the runtime dependencies, but all dependencies including those designated as compileOnly, testImplementation, annotationProcessor, and testAnnotationProcessor. By default, Gradle only publishes runtime dependencies in the generated POM, which can lead to confusion if you're expecting all your dependencies to be represented. In this guide, we will explore how to customize the POM creation process to include the full range of dependencies your project requires.

Understanding Dependency Configurations

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand the different types of dependencies in Gradle:

compileOnly: These are dependencies required for compiling your code but not needed at runtime.

testImplementation: These dependencies are required to run tests but are not needed for consumers of the library.

annotationProcessor: This is for dependencies that are only required during the compilation phase to process annotations.

testAnnotationProcessor: Similar to annotationProcessor, but these dependencies are specifically for test-related annotations.

Since Gradle publishes only the runtime dependencies by default, you'll need to adjust the build.gradle file to include the additional dependency configurations in the generated POM file.

Customizing the POM File Creation

To include all dependencies in your generated POM file, follow these steps:

Edit your build.gradle (or build.gradle.kts for Kotlin DSL):
Here is how you can modify your Gradle file to create a custom publication with a complete POM:

Generate the POM file:
After updating your build.gradle file, run the following Gradle command to generate your custom POM file:

Final Thoughts

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should now have a POM file that includes all your project's dependencies, not just those required at runtime. This customization is particularly useful for ensuring that consumers of your library have all the information they need for proper integration with your project.
